Shannon served in the US Army as a combat medic; however after losing a bet in spades she found herself at the starting line of a triathlon event, little did she know she would fall in love with that sport. She has placed in several olympic-distant triathlons and half-ironman events. She has also qualified for Age-Group Nationals and competed in Ironman AZ 2008.
Racing for roughly six years in triathlons she sought out to find a new love and that's when she found herself at the Athens Twlight event.The new love began and the rest will write itself...
