Road to the Iron Man
August 5, 2007
by Leslie Biernat
Well it’s time for an update on my road to the Iron man and
what an interesting journey it is turning out to be. To begin with I did not know much about
training for one just enough to complete sprint distance triathlons like the
Danskin so I needed to educate myself. I
have read several books now on the how to and how not to train for this event
it’s quite overwhelming actually. There
is so much that goes into it way beyond the actual running, swimming, and
biking, it’s the whole nutrition aspect of it too. So I went online and purchased a training
program to help me along the way or at least get me started but first I needed
the proper equipment….

Leslie's Road to the Iron Man
May 3, 2007
by Leslie Biernat
My name is Leslie Biernat and I am a SURVIVOR. In April of 2003 I was diagnosed with Stage
III Invasive Ductal Carcinoma at age 33. My tumor was 6.5 cm and I had 1 of 3 lymph nodes positive. No family history, no medical problems, no
risk factors except the fact that I am a woman and 1 out of 7 women will be
diagnosed in their lifetime with this disease. My cancer journey started with 6
rounds of chemotherapy, followed by lumpectomy, radiation, tamoxifen,
mastectomy with immediate reconstruction, and top it off with complete
hysterectomy. I am currently taking Aromasin. Cancer has made me look death in the face and fight, but most
importantly it taught me to live! No one
is guaranteed tomorrow, whether you have cancer or not, we must all live in the
moment and enjoy each precious day that we are given; it is truly a gift from
God.
