Heather (in sunglasses) before the Lupus Loop race in Denver

***************************************************************

I live in Denver, CO with my fiance and our two cats. I started running while in high school, but stopped after a scary incident in the park near my house while I was running one morning.  I picked it back up last spring and I'm loving it.  My fiance is a cyclist and a skiier, and in the last three years I've taken up both those sports as well.  I love biking and running the most though. Since I've been having fun with the biking and running, I decided what the heck, lets start swimming and try a tri.  So my first tri will be the Denver Danskin Women's Triathlon in July 2004.

My first love in sports, however, is hockey.  I watched the USA Women win gold in Nagano and vowed to learn to play.  That summer I set out to lean to ice skate, by the end of the summer I was playing my first drop-in game.  What a blast that is!  I havn't played much in the last two years, what with all the biking and running and skiing and swimming, but I really would like to find some time to get back to it.
