Many people have been asking, what’s been going on with Cheryl Fairweather and what has she been up to lately? So, we asked her! Here’s what she had to say:
In the Duathlon world
Long Beach Tri Duathlon 1st place overall female
City Triathlon 4th place overall Female
ITU Worlds AG 8th place
but top 10 in the world finish so that makes it slightly better!
What’s planned next..
Well, a lot of discussion went into what I should do and what I would like to do and the should do was more sound and gathered way more support for what needs to even take place as an athlete.
Had a long talk with my Duathlon coach and well..We are reeving up again Nov. 1 to make Team USA again for the 2012 season. I have an automatic bid into Nationals simply because I made the team this year. But, the goal is to not get 8th! pushing and training to make the podium in France as a Representative of the USA Team.
I’ll be heavily racing this upcoming season to accomplish 3 things…
1. Make the Duathlon USA team again and podium in 2012
2. Race under USA cycling in Road Criterion’s/Circuits
3. Qualify for the USA Track and Field Trials and go from there lol
Breakaway cycling is a great group here in PA that will be helping me utilize my gift as a sprinter and translate that into cycling. So, through some discussion, I took up the challenge
. Starting 2012 I will be a licensed Cat 4 cyclist( upgrading from there) with the USA. Which will benefit my racing as a duathlete. To qualify for 3 USA Nationals would be something this Multi-sports heart would be happy about! This was my 1st season as a competing Duathlete which many say I should be proud my accomplishments as a newbie..but I can’t help but hunger for more! So I’m totally looking forward to Season 2 and even a greater showing at Nationals and Worlds just based on the fact I’ll have more experience under my belt beyond just natural talents
As far as the LFL… I went to 2 great football rich colleges so the opportunity to play was a must do! And it was probably one of the funnest sports I ever played, but the risks of injury are so high and I can’t let this dream to make these teams that are so close and real pass me by
I’m fully dedicated to the Multi-sport world and I’m on the way to accomplish something great… I know it…just have to survive!!! lol
