In Their Own Words - The Amazing Women of TriLaVie

Courage is starting a new sport at 47. Joining TLV was the best decision I have ever made for myself. It literally changed my life.  I always dreamed of being an athlete, now I am a tri-athlete. I trust my coach and I love my teammates.  I am not one of the fastest but I am definitely one of the happiest. -Grace, 48, Laguna Niguel

In 2008, I decided I needed more of a challenge to my workouts so I joined Tri La Vie.  The all women's Triathlon team, to my surprise, not only provided me with outstanding coaching but opened the door to new friendships.  The training also set the stage for representing the USA in the World Triathlon Champsionship in Budapest, Hungary. -Denise, 51, Corona Del Mar

TriLaVie has made tremendous positive impact in my life and I am a stronger person because of it.  You get to experience Orange County at a different level with inspirational women that are just like you. -Maria, 34, Whittier





I came to triathlon because I wanted to have an athletic goal to get myself focused at the gym.  Even though I couldn’t swim in the beginning, I was able to do my first triathlon only a month after I joined TLV.  Thanks to Martha’s coaching as well as the support and encouragement of my teammates, I have grown as an athlete and recently completed my first half ironman.  I have gained so much more than just the ability to swim, bike and run.  I have found a group of women who inspire me, make me laugh, push me to do my best and have become my second family. -Amy, 48, Mission Viejo

I was a "side-lined athlete" while my kids were growing up and when the last one went to college, I realized that it was my time to get back in the game. On a whim, I decided to do a sprint triathlon, signed up, trained (sort of) and finished the race. I But I realized that I needed a coach to a become better triathlete. Now, 10 races later, I am surrounded by women, of all ages, shapes and sizes, of all levels of athletic ability. We support, encourage, and challenge each other and we have fun while we are doing it! I have wonderful coaches who manage to give each triathlete exactly what she needs to accomplish her personal goals. I now feel strong and fit and I am having the time of my life!  Can't wait till race number 11!! -Pamela, 56, Santa Anna 

I began TLV in 2009 as a successful business professional with little athletic ability.  I could swim but could not run or bike. In three short years I have  completed over 15 triathlons and two half marathons including a half ironman.  More important than my accomplishments are the lifelong friendships developed and my increased sense of accomplishment thanks to the wonderful support from coach Martha.   Joining TLV and meeting Martha is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. -Mindy, 54, Huntington Beach

I’m always in awe at how the coaches can work with women with varying levels of athleticism and at the same time make each of us feel powerful and strong and like we can accomplish anything. -Margo, 50, Tustin 

TriLaVie has been the catalyst for me to overcome my biggest fears, achieve my greatest goals, and turn me into a true athlete. -Stacy, 36, Huntington Beach

I joined TriLaVie to train for my first triathlon…I had no idea what I was doing and needed all of the help that I could get.  Three years later, I’m still here…the amazing coaching and the camaraderie and support of my teammates keeps me going! -Darcy, 42, Orange
