Subject: RE: Favorite Professional Triathlete (Woman) - 2008Hillary Biscay all the way. Aside from being a good friend ... and by that I mean, she is good at being a friend, and what more important thing is there? Who else is busier than she, and yet takes time to keep up with my piddly tri endeavours and life difficulties and encourage me? Even in top triathlete circles, she's deeply respected for her dogged persistence in training and racing. Very few triathletes work harder. She's HARD CORE (raced IMNZ with a broken hip and was still fighting with officials while she was crawling and had to be removed from the course). No female pro triathlete races more Ironmans than she does, and she consistently podiums. She did TWO sets of back-to-back iron races this year, winning IMWI one week after placing fourth at IMKY. And she's effing brilliant. We met while she was in her Ph.D. program at USC. |
