Favorite Professional Triathlete (Woman) - 2007 (Page 2)

Not to mention she's a Canuck!  She is too awesome to watch! 

When I think of favorite athletes I think of who inspires me the most.  With that said, I have to give it to BTer's own grvfrog.  Anyone who can do a triple iron distance is my hero. Not only did this touch me in October, but I have thought about this many time since--especially when I'm whining about my own workout.

Also, for the men I would have to give it to: MadCow & Aluminum1 for doing the double.  Forgive me if I left anyone else out.

While I'm giving complements,  here's a toast to everyone who supported them!

The only one I've met personally - in passing - was Heather Fuhr.  I saw her warming up before a marathon recently.  She was nice in person and I like how she presents herself in interviews and the like.

Ok, I am the one who added Nina Kraft. I would have liked to vote for Gina, Natasha, Michellie, and Jamie, but had to put in Nina. Yes I know what she did was wrong. The reason I respect her now is when caught she came clean right away. Never once said "It is not my fault, the test is wrong" or anything like that. She did her 2 years that was required by the governing bodies and has come back quitly and strong. She will always have a scarlet letter around her tri suit, but she has taken a beating (well deserved) and come back from it.

Knock me if you will, but that is my take on it.

I added Sam Warriner; she's a kiwi (now!) and she's very cool. She comes across really well and is very down to earth, from what I've heard.

I wanna be her!
