Athlete of the Month:  Diane Lawrence

Last October, when Diane Lawrence’s 60th birthday was approaching, she knew she had to do something special to mark the occasion. Sky diving was considered along with some other options, but a friend nearly half her age was talking up triathlon so Diane decided that would be her goal. The race had an ocean swim and the surf was pretty big that day. Diane stood on shore and faced, what she calls, her “weakest link” – the ocean swim. She was a bit unnerved watching a few athletes get pulled from the water, but was determined and said to herself “that’s not gonna be me”.

Diane Lawrence wouldn’t let any of her friends or her daughter, a student at Boston Conservatory of Music who flew in for the day, wish her a happy birthday before she finished – it was her gift to herself. But once across the line, they all gathered to sing her Happy Birthday.

Diane had a ton of fun. She says she “couldn’t wipe the grin off her face all day” and she’s never looked at her time, it’s “totally irrelevant”. Diane was once a professional dancer, working her art in ballet, jazz, and musical theater, but now, as a hypnotherapist, she helps marathoners, cancer patients, and HIV patients among others. Diane, like so many of us, is hooked on triathlon. She’s signed up to race the Strawberry Fields Triathlon on March 26th, and acquired a training program form TRIATHLETIX built specifically for that race. We’re honored to help with what will surely be another day of constant grinning.
