Meet Pam Cox! I began running/marathoning in 1984. Met my boyfriend/soon to be husband, and converted to triathlons to share with him. Before I ever participated in a triathlon I won a lottery slot for Kona in 1986!!! Spent the summer racing and attempted Kona! Well, I learned on hard lesson that day.....You dont do an Ironman on 2 bananas!!!! 16th mile on the run I was history!!!! Continued to race (shorter races) and loved it until we had our two daughters! Life changed and racing was put on hold for 18 years!!!! Lost my husband to cancer but knew I wanted to be a part of the triathlon community so I jumped in with both feet. Felt like I was fairly successful in multi distances but it wasnt until 2013 IM Florida that I reached my goal.....I WON my slot to Kona!!!! In the mean time my daughter, mother of a 12 month old was diagnosed with a Spinal AVM. Two surgeries in 6 months, the birth of her second child, and now a paraplegic, she is my strength and determination to race and do well in Kona (next month) and above all....to finish the darn race! So as much as I have said regarding my involvement and love for the sport, my photos are of my daughter fighting to regain her ability to walk again! Thats all the inspiration I need!!! I cant thank TriBike enough for the invitation to race on their team! We are all very fortunate to be a part of such a great TEAM!!!
