Name: Heather Rosso

About Me: (need to rewrite, but don't have energy now)
What I do to pay the bills: E-Marketing , NeighborWorks America
Short term triathlon goals: Finish Patriots Half

Three favorite albums: pre-race inspiration or relaxation:
Blue Man Group
Cirque duSoleil's Quidam
Sound of Wind Driven Rain
Favorite book: Island of the Blue Dolphins. I've read it about 10 times now since I first read it as a kid. Next up is Jonathon Livingston Seagull.
Favorite movie: Waking Life.
Chocolate: dark, dark, dark . . . and lots of it.
Garlic: mmmmmmmmm
Blue Cheese: I know cheese is already mold, but this is pushing my limits.
For breakfast, I usually have: Either meusli or a soy shake. Sometimes both, depending on the previous day's workout.
After a long day of training, my favorite meal is: Steamed broccoli and either baked sweet potato or mashed red-skin potatoes. Or grilled cheese and mashed potatoes.
My best triathlon advice is: relax, and as my grandfather used to say, don't forget to breathe
My best non-triathlon advice is: Read in a short story once: "Life is lumpy. The trick is to know the difference between a lump in your oatmeal, and a lump in your breast."
What was I thinking when I signed up for my first race: Is this a question to answer, or is this just what we ask ourselves on a regular basis?
Everything I need to know I learned from: my cousin's nana
My deepest, darkest secret is: This one time, at band camp, . . . .
