Mom of three swimmers who also do Crossfit. Gabrielle, 21, Marywood University Women's Swimming and Diving. Joey, 19, Loyola University Men's Swimming and Diving. Leo, 10, Pacers Aquatic Club. I am the head swim coach for Pacers Aquatic Club. I am a certified science teacher who has spent most of my career teaching high school physics. Currently a long-term sub at Dunmore Jr/Sr High School. Started my CrossFit journey in February of 2018 at CrossFit Blarney Stone where two of my coaches were women I coached 25 years ago when they were age-group swimmers. Blarney Stone had to close in November of 2019 and my two oldest children and I found our way to CrossFit Vertex. We were only at Vertex for a little over two months when the pandemic struck. We spent nearly three months training at home in Florida and PA. During our at home training we got my husband involved. He is now a member of CrossFit Vertex. Our 10 year old just started CrossFit kids at CrossFit Vertex last week. It is a family affair. I do crossfit to maintain a level a fitness. I was extremely overweight in my mid to late 20's, after having my two oldest children. Before having our third child I began distance running. I ran 5-6 miles a day for years. I lost over 50 pounds in one summer running. I couldn't keep up the running in my late 30's and early 40's due to surgery on both feet and developing arthritis in my knees. I swam, I biked, I tried to stay fit in cutting back on my running. It was my middle son who encouraged me to join crossfit. I didn't think I could do it with my knees. But it is the best thing I could've done. I have found that some of my chronic issues have subsided. I am not in crossfit to become a competitor, although I am very competitive. I like to challenge myself and improve, but I am not the fastest, strongest or most talented. This will be my first open and I am just coming off a 3 week battle with Covid over Christmas and the start of 2021. I am doing the open to challenge myself and be role model for my children and the swimmers that I coach. I want them to know that age is just a number. They motivate me to stay fit and I hope that in some way I motivate them to do the same.
