Meet A Playah -- Margaret "Maggie Moo" McDowell

Age: 37 (38 by tri time)
Superhero Name: Man-eater (Borrowed from snowboarding. An homage to all those guys she plowed over on the slopes -- in her powder blue helmet.)


Stretch Factor: 5 - "I'll say a solid 5, but maybe I'm underestimating the effort it will take!"
Choice Words: "wtf?"
Goal: "some camaraderie...meeting new people...I hope I like it enough to "tri" it again!"

Maggie Moo works as an Instructional Designer with Global Knowledge. (yawn) It's fancy for Power Point Specialist or something like that -- or Professional Blog Reader. Instead of co-habitating in a cubicle 40 hours/week she would rather do absolutely nothing and just ride roller coasters. Ride roller coasters during the day and watch Jason Statham movies in the evenings...THAT's a good life.

When PMS-ing Mags' mission statement is: "chocolate, chocolate, salt, chocolate, potato chips, chocolate. I'm approachable but harder to convince to go out and train." Most recent activity "...outside of just working out? Let's see, about this time last year was the great SnowboardingWhileSicko Adventure at Targhee, WY." Man-eater was sorely missed on the slopes that year. Her biggest challenge? "After this long winter, the bikini wax I'll need in order to be seen publicly in a swimsuit." We may need a support group for the bikini waxing sessions. Training prep she looks forward to most is "having an excuse to possibly buy clipless pedals/cycling shoes." (She's a shoe hound -- you'll find them at Zappos! Seriously!) The first thing she's going to do after crossing the finish line is "avoiding the inevitable photo-op and looking for the nearest bar". I see a trend here that might require a designated driver for all of us. "I met Bren thru Tim. Now she's my Friday nite date! Along with Tim, Sam, Solomon, Koko, Ella, and Chorizo." I once heard her refer to us as a "package deal" that came with Tim (her lover).
