Phil ask who this woman was: she have become one of the fastest woman in Connecticut. I was introduced to her at a small race in Stamford, CT once. I've wish her luck at another race in Southport, CT . I felt that she was reaching out to me at one of the weaveny XC race one year. But I was too shy and lost the opportunity because I couldn't understand why any one that fast would want to talk to me ( I know how silly that sounds but it is the truth). Her boyfriend is also her coach. She is a mother of , I believe a fourteen year old boy. Her native country is Argentina and believe it or not she runs just as many races as I do but she wins 99% of her races."Competing for Argentina in next year’s Pan American Games and the 2008 Beijing Olympics are among her major goals."
She is one of the top members of NYRR there is a wonderful interview with her on Fast Women. com and I believe she was named runner of the year by NYRR for 2006. I believe she completed the NYC marathon in 2:35 in 2006 also and most recently set the BMO Bank of Montreal Marathon Womens course record in 2:35 just a few weeks ago on May 6th. Today's race his is likely her 3rd or 4th race since.
I think I could go on and on, but I won't I'll let you read more about her!!!
