I'm a TriCat!

Everyone wants to tell their story so here's a little bit of mine.. I recently joined the UofA TriCats (by recently I mean about two weeks ago lol) and so far I love it! I have seriously told everyone I know and I'm sure that they're tired of hearing about it but I'm proud to be training as an althlete for the Uof A :) Being a native Tucsonan I've grown up watching Wildcat sports but never thought that I would be able to participate in college level athletics because I've never been crazy talented or innately that athletic of a person. Instead, I dabbled in all different sports: soccer, softball, tennis, swim team, and a little volley ball when I was younger to kickboxing and Budo Taijutsu (the martial art that I currently train in but more on that later). I've also been skiing since I was four and play a little ultimate frisbee now and then so I've definintely made the rounds in the sports circuit. Anyways, I decided to start swimming again for recreation and then moved off campus, got a new bike and fell in love with my morning ride to class. Plus, I have to be able to run 2mi as part of my future black belt test. So, I figured that I should just combine all three, get in better shape and make some new friends along the way.. And well, here I am, a brand new TriCat!
