WEEKLY ROCKSTAR_TAMMY KELLY

I was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa and lived there until I was 18. I moved to Colorado and met my husband and had a son. Two years later we moved to Kailua Kona, Hawaii. I was a smoker for about 15 years and drank occasionally with my husband. I quit smoking and started running to lose weight. I became a pretty good runner here in Hawaii. I eventually found my way into triathlon about 17 years ago. I have competed in many Olympic distance, 1/2 Ironman’s, and two Ironm

I was diagnosed with depression during my senior year of high school in 2002. I didn’t find the sport of triathlon until the start of 2004 when I was sophomore in college at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas due to the fact that I grew up as a competitive swimmer. Before triathlons came into my life I didn’t have a good medicine to rely on except the medicines I was taking that my psychiatrist prescribed. The medicines kept me stable but I didn’t have anything th

I was born with an unusual talent. I could flip my feet behind my head. It wasn’t that I was just a little more flexible; it was that my hip bones were completely disconnected from my pelvis. My hips didn’t have the ball or the socket. My legs were limp excuses for limbs with talents only appropriate in a small town freak show. I had hip dysplasia and my case was severe. It would take seven hip surgeries and $250k to build me semi-normal hips in their place. But I knew I had

Shortly after being diagnosed with muscular dystrophy as a kid, I was told I'd never be able to run. In fact, my school gym note from my doctor excused me from running activities. My MD eventually progressed to a point where walking became incredibly difficult due to the deformities in my feet and ankles, as well as due to the weakness in my lower extremities. I walked on the sides of my feet and often felt like 50 feet was 5 miles. I underwent bilateral foot and ankle recons

Barrier to Entry

When people learn that my passion is triathlon they almost immediately follow that up with something to the effect of “how can you afford that?!” Or “how much did you bike cost?” *humble brag, yes I have a very nice bike* However, this bike for one would not have been possible without some amazing people helping me when I was in to this sport and just coming out of college and two you do not NEED a bike that costs thousands in order to participate in a triathlon.

Expectation is not the death of Determination

It was my first experience in an Ironman sanctioned 70.3 event held in Boulder, CO August 5th, 2017. I had excitement. I had worked hard. I had expected to showcase all of my effort with a personal best. Yes sir, this was going to be my day. FORMULATE. At 5:00 am, I can see thousands of bikes, cars, people. I see the movement, hear the announcements, the music. Queue the nerves. As always with events, the nerves arise and these feelings stem back from as far as I can remembe

Resilience

All off-road triathletes know that racing is as much a mental game as it is a physical one. When it comes to having a successful season, race, or even workout, resilience is the key component that can determine success or defeat. I’ve taken a tumble in a large number of my off-road races, it is part of the sport. But every time I fall, I get back up to keep charging. Obstacles such as rocks, fallen trees, ditches, and everything else mother nature has to offer are part of com
