Grace Porter 200 ...Personal Statement
It was the second triathlon I had ever competed in. I was 11 and trying to cross the bike course during the adult triathlon. I was told it was okay to cross and I was hit by a male competitor. After being checked out, I was told I was okay. A little sore and bruised, but okay. I did not let that slow me down and I went on to win my age group in that triathlon. It is because of swimming that I learned to be mentally tough, to push through those painful sets that make you feel like you want to die, and to never give up.
I am a very competitive person and I believe that helps me to keep improving and doing better I love the team atmosphere, even the silly fun stuff, and the motivation I also get from the other swimmers on the team. I am always looking for ways to improve and I want to be part of a program that I can make a contribution to I work hard but having a little fun along the way is nice also! I am looking for a program that will challenge me athletically and academically and I believe that I will make a great addition to that program!

Training
- Swim Practice
- 10 years
- I have been swimming with Swim Omaha year round since I was 6 years old.
- Dryland
- 7 years
- I usually do some form of dryland 3 days a week. Occaisonally we do wetland, which is a combination of dryland and swimming. It can include cords, medicine balls, sit-ups, pull-ups, pulling machines and various other exercised.
- Weight lifting
- 4 years
- I started doing weight lifting at the age of 13. That is the earliest our club allows. I currently lift weights 3 days a week after practice.
- Triathlons
- 5 years
- I compete in triathlons during the summer. They are great for cross training plus I really enjoy them. I usually compete in 4 a summer because I also have swim meets in there also. I hope to compete in my first Olympic distance triathlon next year. I have competed in triathlons since the age of 11. It pushes me in a different direction than just swimming alone.
- Cycling Club
- 1 year
- This is the 1st year of the cycling club at my high school. We competed in one crit race, 2 mountain bike races and 2 cyclocross races. It is very challenging but very fun!
