About Me
- TRI TO BE FUNNY
- Austin, Texas, United States
- I'll make you laugh, or break my neck trying. This is usually accomplished with daily bouts of swimming, biking and running. A former "chub-a-holic," I got fit and healthy the good old fashioned way and went from a mid-pack athlete to top age group runner and triathlete. I'm a Writer and USAT Level 1 Certified Triathlon Coach. I guess that makes me part Tina Fey and part Jillian Michaels. Visit my coaching site at www.fomotraining.com

Look Out Pulitzer!
Woo Hoo!! I'm a paid journalist! :-) Well, actually anyone who gets their "Gun Lap" submission printed gets $50 from "Runner Triathlete News" Magazine.
Where will I spend my fortune?!? Unfortunately, $50 doesn't buy much in the world of triathlon! Maybe a couple of power gels and some new 650 tubes...Awesome...
Either way, I couldn't help but beam with a little pride at getting a check for writing a piece in an actual triathlon publication.
Call me a dork. Everyone else does.
FYI--this was the piece that was published:

I loved that piece. Worth far more than $50, but hey...great start!! Just don't go changing your name to anything like "Danielle Steele" :)
Lapuente.....
She already did!
Sapp, who's this Carrie barrett person and why are you trying to cash her checks?
Congratulations,, great article.
Every little bit helps, right? That was a great post. Congrats on getting published!
Congratulation on being a paid and published author although I must say that that particular piece is priceless. I'm glad it got a larger audience.
Nice going. You are a good writer and I enjoy reading your posts.
Incredible. Perfect thread to read (original post) when I think I'm losing my own battle of speed. Thanks so much for sharing. Enjoy spending the well deserved $50 buckaroos!
