Athlete of the Month: Maritza Cabezas
Maritza Cabezas came to Triathletix last year having set a goal of
doing Big Kahuna as her first Half Ironman. She had very little
experience swimming or biking and limited experience running. Added
to that, she had some fears about the water and was intimidated by
the bike. It’s also important to mention that she’s a dentist who
advocates for dentistry for children in the state of California and
this is a job that takes a good deal of time away from her family and
her training.
However, Maritza quickly impressed me with her fearlessness – her
willingness to face her demons and learn how to do this triathlon
stuff. She did shorter races during her preparation and on Big Kahuna
day she challenged the tough course and had an excellent race.
She now is, of course, looking for new 2009 challenges.
