Bio Information
Location: Russian Hill, San Francisco
School Attended: University of Georgia, Athens, GA
Profession: Consultant at Initech (or is it Penitrode? Or maybe Initrode?)
Race: Ironman Yemen

Why: I’m chaperoning Ironman Yemen so Kamal doesn’t get lost following his own crap directions.
Motivation: find a cure, stay close to the cause, spend time with good and crazy friends, and stave off the effects of father time, that bastard
Goal: To help the team know cancer and blow our fundraising goal out of the water. To get a sub 20 minute T2 (I’ll skip the massage next time). To get really really good on the bike. To look HOT.
Other races: Ironman Canada 2005!; 3 Wildflower halfs and an Oly; soon-to-be two Nike marathons, a couple Donner Lakes and Sentinel, a Vineman, a Solvang Century, a Big Sur marathon and a Balance Bar adventure race

Favorite tri gadget/gear items: my see-through TNT swimsuit (they only look like polka dots…) (raf’s commentary: so, if they’re not polka dots…?)
Favorite Books: books by Pema Chodron; Shadow of the Wind; Naked Pictures of Famous People; currently reading Into The Wild
Favorite Movies: Crash if I want to feel better about myself; Office Space if I want to giggle uncontrollably; Steel Magnolias if I want to cry (she dies in the end!); and, the IronTeam 2005 video to be totally inspired to do awesome things
Favorite Songs/Artists: I listen to whatever Raf tells me to listen to - and then pretend like they’re all my own finds…Karen likes “I’m a Slave for You” by Britney Spears, “Ice, Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice, and “Gold Digger” by Kanye West

Favorite Workout Songs: Any spoken-word tracks by Tenacious D (”Put two of them up your…!”)
Morning or Evening: Depends on the day - love early mornings - but only after I’ve had my coffee

Favorite Web Sites: gorillamask.net, google, explodingdog.com, overstock.com, wsj.com
Favorite Eatery/Restaurant: Scott Howard; Calzone’s for a good mojito, most restaurants on Belden Place, and that brunchy place in the ‘Loin near Glide…basically anyplace except the Hofbrau.

When you have downtime, how do you spend it? Giggling at my husband Jon Stewart on The Daily Show; Watching gross shows like 101 Things Removed from the Human Body on the Discovery Channel; reading, sleeping; spending time with friends

Tell us two lies and a truth about yourself…keep them guessing!
I was a debutante in Atlanta and served Coke at my coming-out party
I was in a commercial wearing my green flames
I’ve rappelled off the deck of my apartment down into #5. They weren’t happy.
