Once I was training again, I got better and better. I got faster and faster on bike and in running. She entered a handful of tri, bi and running events in 1998 and excelled in all of them. When you do well, you're motivated to train again, which makes you want to race again. It feeds on itself.

Huizing claims plaque and trophy at one of her many wins. By winning last July's Riverwatch Biathlon in North East, Md., she became women's state champ in that event. And while she lives near Rock Creek Park, which she uses for long runs to Lake Needwood and back, she is not willing to ride there. It's very dangerous to ride a bike in the park. I would rather go out of town to Damascus, Laytonsville or Poolesville.
