Links and Thanks

There are so many people who have been a part of making Slow Fat Triathlete into a real book and making me into a real Slow Fat Triathlete, I just have to give a shout out to them. Neither triathlon nor writing is really an individual sport.

• My incredible, sweet-natured husband Tim Anderson, also the illustrator of Slow Fat Triathlete. Check out his work!
• My parents and my brother Jonathan, the coolest family ever. Can't even find words for how much I appreciate them.
• Michelle, Russ, Mike, Will: EILNPUdlians forever!
• Anne, Merrin, Indigo, Beth, Nan, Chris, Jacob, Sue: stalwart friends, encouragers and inspirations all.
• Dave Dahl, who facilitated a miracle.
• John Kaemmerling, who took all the fun photos on this site. He's at johnkphoto.com.
• Dana Kelly, excellent buddy and volunteer stylist for John's marvellous photos. Check out her design work at www.danakellydesign.com.
• Coach Lisa Engles, who makes people believe that they really are strong and fast, and makes them laugh even as she inflicts pain...www.bodyinmindonline.com
• The Silicon Valley Triathlon Club (SVTC): fine folks, triathletes of all abilities, and the most supportive atmosphere imaginable for both the slow and fat AND the fast and skinny. www.svtriclub.org
• Coach Dan Sauers of SVTC's New To The Sport program. He's fast, but he understands slow.
• Rinat, Jan, Molly, Anne, Barb, Kathleen, Cynthia, Susan, Mardell, Carol, June, Sheila, and all the other remarkable women of the Friday morning meeting.
• Vince and Chris, spiritual midwives of Slow Fat Triathlete.
