We are very happy to have three guest women train for and blog about their training experience leading up to Goldilocks. Each blogger will be training for a different length ride. They will post regularly about their training and experiences leading up to the Goldilocks ride in May. Check back often to see their stories.
Heidi Shaver-Leggat
- Training distance: 60 miles
- Pen name: Shaver Leggs (Indicative of what I should do on a daily basis!)
- Age: 37
- Height: 5’9” roughly
- Weight: More than I need.
- Occupation: Mother to 4, Wife to 1, Owner to 2, and part time Editor.
- Hobbies: gardening, swimming, home decorating (A lack of funds prevents me from doing a very good job at this hobby.), and shopping for 4 girls. (That darn lack of funds thing!)
- Previous biking experience: I used to mountain bike all the time while in college. My bike lasted about 15 years (which is amazing) and I finally had to throw it away. My road bike experience is pretty much non-existent. I borrowed a road bike once last fall to ride with some friends and loved it! Now I am in the market for a road bike and hope to build enough muscle and stamina to do 60 mile bike rides and maybe a few triathlons.
