The Desert Sharks Triathlon Club
Club Activities Coordinator

Activities CoordinatorNAME: Cindi Glenn

OFFICER POSITION: Activities Coordinator

HOMETOWN: Sandy, UT

FAMILY: married to Todd, 3 children, Brandon(22), Mallory(19) and Mikenna (13). They are my biggest fans and motivation.

OCCUPATION: Part-Time Escrow Officer-First American Title

AVERAGE WEEKLY TRAINING: 6-10 hours a week, doing whatever Coach Rob L. throws at me

FAVORITE WORKOUT(S): I enjoy working out with friends but my favorite workout is running alone, listening to my pink shuffle. I absolutely love riding up South Mountain.

FAVORITE/MEMORABLE RACE(S): I have several, the HIM from last year was a huge accomplishment for me, but my favorite race is the Top of Utah Marathon in 2007. My son was serving a mission and would be returning home that year. Missions are hard and I wanted to do something to prove that I could do hard things too (My favorite saying “I can do hard things”). I would have preferred to swim rather than run at that time so a marathon was the perfect challenge. It was a hard, just as I had anticipated, but I will never forget the feeling of accomplishment as I crossed the finish line!

CURRENT TRIATHLON GOAL(S): I would like to learn how to swim correctly. Hoping to qualify for the 2010 Boston Marathon and complete a Half Ironman. I participated in an Half Ironman in 2008, but they ended up canceling the swim and I feel a little guilty wearing my HIM hat.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO COMPETE AND TRAIN: I Love it! It is spiritual as well as physical to me. Training and Racing build character and I am constantly learning life lessons as I strive to improve myself physically. One of the greatest lessons I have learned is to be grateful for my health. In a Triathlon “pain is a Privilege” (Coach Rob L.) and each time I stand at the beginning of a race, nervous, scared to death, I think about how lucky I really am to be standing there at all.

PERSONAL RECORDS:

Half Marathon: Salt Lake Half 2008 1:53
Marathon: St. George Marathon 3:52
Sprint Triathlon: Women of Steel 2008 1:15
