A Chat with Swim Bike Mom, Meredith Atwood

Time to talk triathlon (and weight loss and the mantra, “just keep moving forward”): Dimity and Sarah are joined by Meredith Atwood, known to many of you as Swim Bike Mom. As recently as the summer of 2010, this mom of two and practicing attorney weighed 280 pound; her only foray into cardio exercise was a handful of 5K races. Now Meredith will be taking on Ironman Coeur d’Alene (IMCDA), with its 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and, gulp!, marathon-distance run. The mother runners get Meredith talking about her 80+-pound weight loss, her mental metamorphosis, and her unflinching, funny book, Triathlon for Every Woman. Dimity and Meredith commiserate over training for IMCDA, while Sarah and Meredith bond over the use of the word, “butthead.”
