Vicki Cherry

Vicki Cherry has followed a fairly typical athletic progression, stepping from one challenge to the next and becoming an incredible athlete along the way.

You Are Never Too Old To Tri

At what point does life cease to challenge you? This question is answered by decisions and choices; it is not a sentence. We are all creatures of comfort and habit, and as we age, it may be progressively harder to step outside our respective boxes. We become tentative and cautious; and sometimes it takes a push.

24 Hours, Top Speed, One Gear

Teams carefully select the right gearing for a particular course to fully utilize all 27 speeds of their drive trains. But this was not challenging enough for team Independent Fabrication. They decided to do the race with just ONE gear and one speed.

Jered is coached by Matt Russ, and has recently been excepted to team Haufbrau Radler in Germany.

Running On Faith
I have worked with athletes who are emotionally fueled by a combination of every one of these motivators. I was surprised by Jackie Seibert�s, though; her motivator is her faith, which I find fascinating. It must be a powerful one as she recently finished 7^th overall female and 2^nd in her division at the Atlanta ING Marathon.

The Power Within Me

Two hundred and nineteen pounds and five foot tall - that was me just two and a half years ago. Until February of 2002 when I saw a photograph of myself from a friend's wedding. I had no idea how obese I had let myself become. I still saw myself as a size 12 even though I put on size 20-22 clothing regularly and only shopped at Lane Bryant. Still, it took me another three months to realize that I had to change my life in a big way. I began my new journey and new lease on life just a few days before my twenty sixth birthday.
