NICOLE DAVIS IRONMAN Team Psych Triathlon Co-Founder USAT Level I Coach
CONTACT INFORMATION Nicole@TeamPsychTri.com
Family Information: Married, 4 children, 2 grandchildren If I wasn’t a Business Manager, I would be a retired PowerBall winner, and full time triathlete! Passions outside Triathlon: family, travel, and action movies. Key Race or goal for the season: Ironman Cozumel which will be IM#5. Athletic history before triathlon: Decades of running track, cross country, and road races Triathlete for how many seasons: 6 straight seasons, although back in 1980 I raced a couple of triathlons while I was in grad school at the University of Wisconsin. Currently my bike is a: According to Rule # 12 (http:// www.velominati.com/the-rules/), the correct number of bikes to own is N + 1 where N is the number you currently have. If you do not have at least 3, you are in violation of the rules. My 3 include a Giant Advanced Trinity SL-1 w standard crank and Dura Ace 7900 groupo (my flat course tri bike), a Quintana Roo CD0.1 with compact crank and Sram Red groupo (my hilly course tri bike), and a Trek Madone 6.9 with Dura Ace 7800 groupo (the obligatory road bike). Know the rules…follow the rules! My dream bike is a … not sure yet. I haven’t seen anything out there that is fundamentally better than my Giant. However, I often think it would be neat to own a custom titanium Roark Mach 2 tri bike with S&S couplers for ease of packing.
Philosophies: Work hard, play hard. Biggest obstacle I overcame in becoming a triathlete: I fit the typical profile of someone who came to triathlon late in life with no swimming background. Learning to breathe bilaterally, master flip turns in the pool, and basically transform myself into an adequate swimmer has been a long process. What is your greatest triathlon moment or story? I’ve had lots of memorable races, but they tend to be more distinct when I’ve overcome difficulties or failed. In 2010, we traveled to Idaho for Ironman Coeur d’Alene. My goal was to smash that race and KQ. Instead, I had a panic attack early in the swim, and the thought crossed my mind that drowning was a real possibility. But I was in the thick of the mass start and there was nowhere to go but forward. After about 2/3 of a mile, I finally had enough open room around me to flag a kayak and recover for a minute. I finished the swim more than 15 minutes behind my goal pace, then started on the bike where I had a couple of mechanicals that cost me more time. But I never gave up, and finished 9th out of 147 finishers in my age group. Although I did not KQ, I was never so happy to finish a race and see my family. Thinking you might die adds a lot of perspective to your race! What inspires me is anyone racing triathlons into their 70s and beyond. I look at them and think wow, that’s perseverance. I want to be one of those guys. My favorite part about triathlon is… the finish! Guilty Pleasures: Butter pecan ice cream. Philosophies/Quotes/Mottos: There’s plenty of time to rest when you are dead!
Family Information: Son- Mac (age 17, senior in Highschool), dog, and a cat If I wasn’t a Scheduling Analyst (real occupation), I would be a Physical Therapist (dream job) and devote some time to volunteer work. Passions outside Triathlon: I’m a Florida girl at heart. I love the beach, and I usually go on about 2 cruises a year. Key Race or goal for the season: So far, St Anthony’s, as it was my largest race yet. I’m now training for Rock N Roll Vegas full marathon in December. I hope to get a Half Iron under my belt sometime in the near future. Athletic history before triathlon: I started running in the fall of 2010. Before that, there wasn’t an athletic bone in my body. I am by no means fast…I just love to participate. Triathlete for how many seasons: Two years Currently my bike is a: Trek Lexa My dream bike is a: a tri bike with all the bells and whistles. Biggest obstacle I overcame in becoming a triathlete: Spraining my ankle late in my first tri-season. It wasn’t easy for me to just rest it so it
could heal. It is still giving me trouble. If I could give any advice…don’t sprain your ankle! What is your greatest triathlon moment or story? I can’t really think of a great moment, but now that I am asked for one, I will surely trip and fall on my face at the next race J What inspires me is all the awesome runners and triathletes that I’ve met. I have made quite a few friends. It’s great being able to have the resources to exchange tri info and stories. My favorite part about triathlon is… the finish line! Guilty Pleasures: Double Stuff Oreo cookies and brownies Philosophies/Quotes/Mottos: The hardest part is getting out the door, You’re still lapping everyone on the couch. What drew you to Team Psych? A friend told me about Team Psych. I felt like I instantly fell into place. There’s so many different levels of athletes, It’s such a great group of people,

As if holding the record for the longest spaceflight by a female astronaut wasn't enough, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is preparing to compete in a triathlon ‌ in space. Williams, who is stationed aboard the International Space Station, is planning to participate in the 26th annual Nautica Malibu Triathlon in September. But unlike the more than 5,000 athletes who will gather at Zuma Beach in California to swim, bike and run, Williams will compete while orbiting more than 240
miles (386 kilometers) above Earth. She left Earth July 17 for her second longduration stay in the orbiting lab. Williams will participate in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon in concert with CNN's chief medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, for a CNN special. While Gupta sticks to a more Earthbound experience of swimming in the Pacific Ocean, bicycling and racing through the streets of Malibu, Williams will run, pedal, and engage in a series of bench presses that will serve as the microgravity equivalent of swimming. NASA NASA astronaut Sunita Williams posted this photo of her race bib for the Falmouth Road Race on Twitter. Williams ran the 7-mile race on Sunday aboard the International Space Station. As part of her triathlon training, Williams participated from space in Sunday's Falmouth Road Race, an annual seven-mile race from Woods Hole in the town of Falmouth, Mass. [ Video: Astronaut to Run Triathlon in Space ]
Now she has roughly a month to prepare for the triathlon, which requires competitors to swim half a mile in the ocean, bike 18 miles and run four miles. Astronauts on long-duration missions at the orbiting outpost exercise roughly two hours each day to combat loss of bone and muscle density. The space station is equipped with a specially designed stationary bike, treadmill (complete with harnesses to keep participants from floating away) and a machine called the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device, or ARED, which acts as a weightlifting machine. In recent interviews with CNN and WCIA radio in Illinois, Williams described the progress of her training in space, and how her body is adjusting to exercise in the microgravity environment. Microgravity is nice to your body," Williams told WCIA. "You can float around, it feels good, but when you simulate gravity — when you're on either the treadmill or the ARED — it sort of hurts. So it's been a bit of an adjustment to get into the exercise." During her first two weeks in space, Williams spent time familiarizing herself with the machines, which are either new or have been upgraded since she was last at the space station in 2007. "The first two weeks we've sort of used as a just-get-used-to-the-equipment, get used to the protocols that we're doing," Williams said at the time. "So I think we're at that point that we're finally adapted and ready to start building on it. So, just watch out, because now I'm ready to really start preparing for the triathlon." Williams told CNN that watching the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which concluded this past weekend in London, helped provide motivation.
During the interview, Williams demonstrated how to use the space station's bike, which has pedals but no seat. A nearby computer controls the resistance and speed of the bike, and also logs the astronauts' heart rates as they ride. "This is how I'm going to simulate the bike ride," Williams explained. "For the hills, I can increase my resistance to match the route that you're going to take, because I would assume that Malibu is not flat like Houston, right?" For the swimming portion of the triathlon, Williams worked with experts in Houston to design a different exercise that she will be able to complete in orbit, said Kelly Humphries, a NASA spokesman at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The exercise was created by Mark Guilliams, who works as part of NASA's astronaut strength, conditioning and rehabilitation group. It requires Williams to perform a type of modified bench press. That will serve as her swimming portion of the race, Humphries told Space.com. Williams will use the station's bike to pedal 18 miles and then will strap herself to the treadmill to complete the final four miles of running. This is not the first time Williams has competed in orbit in a major athletic event. In 2007 Williams ran the Boston Marathon from the International Space Station, finishing with an official time of four hours, 23 minutes and 10 seconds. There are currently six people living and working aboard the space station. In September Williams will assume command of the station's Expedition 33 crew, becoming only the second woman to lead the orbiting outpost. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/48662705/ns/technology_and_science-space/t/high-score-assured-astronaut-doing-triathlon-space/
