My Triathlon Journey
We're Claire and Mira — a Century Team.
That means if you add our ages together, we hit 100.
And on August 9th, we're swimming, biking, and running around Lake Nokomis at the YWCA Minneapolis Women's Sprint Triathlon to prove that this is just getting started.
Claire has done a sprint tri before — a long time ago. For Mira, this is her first.
We've been training together, cheering each other on, and occasionally questioning our life choices on long bike rides.
We're racing to support YWCA Minneapolis and their mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. That mission isn't abstract to us, it's the work we show up for every day in our own lives and businesses.
Our goal is $500 (each - $1000 total) by June 30th.
If you've ever cheered for a woman doing something that scared her a little, this donation is for that. It's also for the incredible community that the YWCA serves and the crucial mission they have.
$10, $25, $50 — every dollar counts and every dollar goes directly to YWCA Minneapolis.
Thank you for being in our corner. 🏊♀️🚴♀️🏃♀️
Description
YWCA Minneapolis hosts one of the largest and best women's races in the country. But they also host:
- Award-winning Early Childhood Education programs at five centers across the metro;
- One of the largest offerings of after-school and summer programs in Minnesota;
- A workforce development program to train and retain the next generation of credentialed Early Childhood educators;
- A Health and Wellness facility where over 8,000 community members find challenge and connection.
This work is vital, far-reaching, and more crucial now than ever. Can you support my Tri journey and chip in $25, $100, or $500 to power us forward? No amount is too small to make a difference.
