Melanie Wilson is our very special guest tonight. Melanie likes to stay active and we love speaking with people like Melanie that are motivated to move. We learn that Melanie does a lot of fun things such as Zumba and ultimate frisbee, and triathlons, plus Melanie loves cycling. She started cycling with a group called Cycle chicks and was cycling all over and that's what really got Melanie going. When all the pieces of the puzzle came together Melanie planned to start triathlons in the Fall of 2016 but there was one problem, and that problem is she hates running. Even though running is not Melanie's cup of tea she did not let that stop her. She learned how to swim better and started training and built up her stamina to get ready. The Hampton Triathlon was going to be Melanie's
first but due to an unfortunate accident, she had to wait until 2018 and do the Aboiteau Triathlon. When Melanie crossed the finish line she felt amazing and now has completed 8 more Triathlons. On June 25th of this year, Melanie has plans to complete her very own half Ironman, 70.3 total miles, with her own course, very cool. If this goes well Melanie would like to do a 70.3 Half Ironman race so this is a stepping stone to future events. Then we bring up the boot camps that Melanie does at Peak Fitness in Dieppe. Melanie has done nearly 350 in total but has stopped them, for now, to train for her Half Ironman but we have no doubt that she will start up again once her training subsides. Lastly, we chat about loom knit and how much Melanie enjoys this hobby and I ask her how in the heck she has time for this. We see some of her work and it's amazing, picture below. Melanie is very motivated and we can't wait to see what she is going to try next.
