She ran her first half marathon in 2007 and inspired her husband to take up running as well.  She was excited to try a triathlon and it became a dream of hers, but put that on hold to have 2 more children.

She found that she adored the sport and raced eight times in the next four months.  Her two oldest children also completed their first triathlon in 2012 and loved it.  Cyndi also plays the harp, loves to sing and dance, cook/bake, snowboard, is an avid photographer, and is always up for an adventure.
