Jeanne Snell
As a runner for 25+ years, I found cycling when injured. Loved it and then found swimming (not from a running injury, thank goodness). Put them all together two years ago for a couple sprint triathlons and did one olympic last year. Looking forward to having more opportunities to train with a group. Currently belong to a Masters Swim group at La Paloma and coach a number of running groups. Always looking for folks to ride with. Married to a marthoner and have two sons, 17 and 19.

Angel Benitez Jr.
My name is Angel, I'm 40 years old. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 22 years. We have 2 adult children and 1 grandchild. I recently returned to Tucson from a 1 year deployment to Afghanistan. It was in Afghanistan where I promised myself I would do a Triathlon when I got back home. Since returning I\'ve competed in 1 sprint tri and a few trail races. I\'m looking forward to meeting and learning from all of you.

Andy Basine
I enjoy working out if I can make the time, I look forward to group rides and runs. Look forward to getting better and staying healthy.
