BornFit is so excited ~ we’re jumping for joy, doing handstands, somersaults and event cart wheels 
(okay….feeling a bit dizzy!) ~ to announce that we are the official apparel sponsor for this year’s Tri for the Cure- Denver! Tri for the Cure-Denver, is a unique triathlon experience designed just for women. That’s right…..just women. No crazy, overly zealous men swimming over you to seek out that 1st place award. It’s an incredibly well supported race – in more ways than one – and it’s created just for you! Whether it’s your first time or you’re a veteran triathlete, the Tri is a race for women of any age, athletic ability or fitness level. This race supports the Susan G. Koman for the Cure and over the past 5 years has raised over $500,000! Talk about dedication! It, literally, has become a life-changing event for thousands of women!
BornFit will be doing what we love to do most at the Tri for the Cure Denver Expo on Saturday, July 31 from 9 – 3pm – chatting and interacting with all the amazing women that make BornFit who we are today! Stop by the expo at Bicycle Village, 2802 S. Havana, Aurora, CO if you’re in the area. We’d love to see you! You’ll also have the opportunity to check out our $10 clearance bins and get great ….and we do mean GREAT….deals on our Bike Short, Most Amazing Skorts, Tees and even the oh-so-popular ‘I Am’ Tanks that are sure to get you movin’!

What makes me tri? Crossing the finish line with a smile on my face!
What makes me tri? Its the rush of the finish and knowing that I did my best. When my husband deployed I needed something to focus on and this was the perfect fit! Not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I am a better mother and wife. What really makes me “tri” is the fact that my oldest little girl (3) will be so excited and tell me “MOMMY YOU WON!” even if I come in last – that in itself is worth every ounce of pain!
What makes me “Tri”?
Knowing that I have the ability to empower myself and not only make a difference in my own life, my kids’ lives, but to inspire those around me as well.
Congrats on being the official sponsor! You ladies ROCK!
My son makes me tri. I know he sees me taking care of my health and he’s learning healthy habits too! Plus, I love it when he runs with me (in the stroller) and yells ‘FASTER, Mommy, FASTER!’
What makes me tri? Doing something for myself. Giving myself a challenge. Having me daughter cheer me on. Teaching her the importance of taking care of yourself!
What makes me tri? Well, to get a goal of something I once thought I could never do. To get rid of the “can’t”s in my life and replace them with, “Look what I just did!”
What makes me wanna tri again? I let the water beat me in my first sprint tri. I finished the swim, but still felt defeated. I am going to practice open water swimming and next year – I’m going to tri again!
Thanks so much for all of the great comments/entries so far! It is so great to hear what motivates you all!
As a breast cancer survivor there are many reasons I tri…To be a small part of a great cause, writing on yourself with sharpie attracts lots of attention, I gotta have more cowbell baby, to feel the wind in my hair, sheer experience, real superheros wear pink, the support of those who race with you, beats chemo, to learn the art of possible, and to say outloud I survived.
In 2008 I made a video listing these reasons. A few days before the Tri For the Cure in 2008 I lost my Mother to cancer. I am celebrating 4 years of being cancer free at age 37. My 2 daughers will have to start getting mamograms at age 23 – my hope is by then there is a cure. This is why I Tri.

So excited you all are the offical apparel sponsor…see you there!
Wow, what an inspiring video! Thank you so much for taking the time to share it. We are so glad that you are cancer free. So very inspiring.
What makes me “Tri”?
I think it’s a combination of things. First, it’s the new found empowerment that I am feeling from making the decision to get back in shape and lose weight. I’ve “tri”ed this many times before, but this is the first time that I feel like I am succeeding and enjoying the process. I have the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans to thank for that. Second, it is the fact that I have a goal that I am aiming toward. Last but certainly not least, it is proving to myself that I can do this and I am worth the effort.
I tri every day. Tri to be a better woman, mother, wife. Running helps remind me that I’m worth the effort. I want my 3 girls to see me doing things that I never thought possible. See me work hard for a goal. See me accomplish my goals.
Setting goals makes me tri! I’m preparing for a half- marathon and raising $4000 for the leukemia and lymphoma society. Two things vie never done before but I gotta try!
i Tri to change up my running routine.
I tri by competing in triathlons! I completed my first tri on July 25th and I’m already training to my second. I love how strong I feel and that I’m never bored with my workouts!
Being a positive role model for my kids while doing something for myself. Tri definitely makes me a better person.
What makes me Tri? I am a mother of 4 year-old twins and I just turned 45. I wanted to do this for my kids. I want to be healthy for them, so I can be around long enough to see them grow up. Until I started training for this event, I had not exercised regularly since my 20s. I’m happy with the results and even happier that my kids know what the word “exercise” means now.
