Comments 0 | Recommend 0Lori Armstrong
What is the biggest challenge of staying healthy at your age?
“I pace myself so I can train forever, but I’m not the fastest tool in the shed.”
What is your biggest accomplishment?
“My first Ironman I did I got five flat tires, so I was eight-and-a-half hours on the bike. It was my 50th birthday and my whole family was there so I really couldn’t stop.”
What are your goals?
“I have so many goals. I’m doing Ironman Arizona in November, and I’d like to do a 24-hour adventure race.”
What is your motivation to stay healthy and active?
“I’d hate to say what it really is - I think it’s obsession. I’m just addicted to it! I love what I do. I love getting out there and seeing life, seeing the sun rise every day.”
Do you have any heroes?
“My family. My husband. There’s so many. When I race I dedicate it to someone in my heart, and they’re usually my hero for that race.”
