TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
CINDI HART
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a woman who has achieved great things in both cycling and speed skating, but has achieved even more in the fight against cancer.
While undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer, Cindi Hart continued to compete in her sports, itself an almost unthinkable feat. What makes her accomplishments even more astounding is that she won a National Championship in cycling, less than three weeks after her last chemo treatment, and a mere eight days before receiving a bilateral mastectomy.
She was back on a bicycle two days after the surgery.
She also won the Indiana State Championships Track Cycling Championships during the course of her treatment, as well as a 17-mile team event in Ohio.
Beyond her strong cycling resume (of which I have listed a mere fraction), Cindi Hart has also enjoyed a strong speed skating career (including a Bronze Medal at the Speed Skating Nationals) and served as a highly successful Special Olympics coach (leading the U.S. to its best medal total ever at the Special Olympics Winter Games).
She was also named Volunteer Coach of the Year in 2005 by U.S. Speedskating.
Regardless, Cindi Hart displayed a commitment to showing that all obstacles can be overcome, and is one of the strong examples of backing your commitments up with action.
