The Future of Racing with Gabriela Gallegos

BY Host Dirk Friel

This week Dirk sat down with Race Director Gabriela Gallegos who's passionate about encouraging her Texas community to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

�ձ�һ��Ƶ

Race Director Gabriela Gallegos gets, stuff, done! She puts on a multitude of races in Texas as well as Arizona and is on the Board of Directors for USAT. She trained for her first triathlon as an adult and found the finish line experience totally transformative. From then on, she was hooked.

Gabriela strives to share that experience with many others in her community, particularly women of color via her Mighty Mujer Race Series. She has undoubtedly made some tough choices throughout the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic but is continuously looking at ways to adapt and guarantee her racers are able to return to what they love most.

Stand-out Quotes

“It was really meant to be a race that is empowering and giving the idea of womanhood as powerful and strong and willing to take on challenges…it’s not the ‘shrink it and pink it’ mentality.”
“Now we’re trying to find ways to stay motivated, even though we’re not traveling to a specific location to do your goal with other people. Having that personal goal has been really fundamental.”
“Initially thinking of that as a virtual date on the calendar, didn’t feel real. And now that does feel real, right? As we’ve shifted a lot of how we’re doing business.”
“There’s a certain element of the pressure & intimidation factor that are just lifted, right? If you don’t have to go and you don’t feel like you look the part, or you don’t have the outfit, or you don’t know what to expect, signing up for a virtual race is very low risk.”
“I think people are outside and riding bikes and running more than we’ve ever seen before. It is people who maybe [were] feeling stuck for a few weeks and then realized, ‘I just need to go outside. I just need to go for a walk. I have had this bike for years and I haven’t been on it and I am going to go get it tuned up.’”

"O--oh! whether he loves or not, or whoever he loves, I know who he hates; he hates me and my religion; our religion, Smith, mine and yours; because it's put me between him and her. What was that the preacher said this morning? 'The carnal mind, being enmity against God, is enmity against them that serve God.' O--oh, I accept his enmity! it proves my religion isn't vain! I'm glad to get it!" To point out some of the leading points or conditions to be taken into account in pattern-making, and which must be understood in order to manage this department, I will refer to them in consecutive order. We had got near the door of the room that stood ajar, and from there came the sound of a couple of girls' voices: "Hail, Mary.... Hail, Mary...." "His face, unshaven since ever so long, is quite emaciated, and presents all the symptoms of nervous exhaustion. Once more twenty German soldiers are being nursed in his college, where only once a German doctor came to see them. He (Dr. Goffin) and a couple of Sisters have to manage everything by themselves, and the Germans do not even dream of providing food for their own wounded, although the college is so inadequately provisioned that the Head and the Sisters have to deny themselves the necessary nourishment that they may feed the wounded. "Well, that's all right; and what am I going to have with it, bread, potatoes, or...." Dear Daddy-Long-Legs, (individually) ever pat me on the head, Daddy? I don't believe so-- Here I am at Lock Willow for the summer--for ever maybe. The board More temples, each more stupendous than the[Pg 41] last, and more halls hewn in the rifts of the hills, and over them monks' cells perched on little columns, which at such a height look no thicker than threads. "I want you to read them and act upon them," he said. "You'll have to put that Corner House business out of your head for a day or two at any rate. It appears that a gang of cosmopolitan swindlers have established their headquarters somewhere in Soho, and by means of using several addresses they are getting a tremendous quantity of goods which they proceed to turn into money. Here is one of their advertisements cut from the Standard. You had better answer it, and get in touch with the fellows that way. But nobody can manage that sort of thing better than you." ��What do you think of going out there to the hangar now?�� he asked. Mother and girls were inconsolable, for each had something that they were sure "Si would like," and would "do him good," but they knew Josiah Klegg, Sr., well enough to understand what was the condition when he had once made up his mind. "Blamed if I'll do it," said the Sergeant. "He can take off my stripes, and be blest to him. You said just what I think, and what we all think, and I ought to stand by you. I've a notion to go right back in the room and tell him I won't do it, and pull off my stripes and hand 'em to him, and tell him to take 'em and go to Halifax." "It looks," continued Si, "as if they'd got news of the train and slipped out here to take it away from us. They may attack it at any minute after we start agin. Now, we mustn't let 'em git it. It's too valuable to the Government to lose and too valuable to them to git. We mustn't let 'em have it, I tell you. Now, I want you to load your guns carefully, handle 'em very carefully after they are loaded, git back in the cars, stop skylarkin', keep very quiet, listen for orders, and when you git 'em, obey 'em to the letter��no more, no less." "See here, Si, you've got to take that squad of kids you brung into your particular charge, and lick 'em into shape. They need an awful sight of it, and I hain't got any time to give 'em. I've something else to do besides teaching an infant class. I never was good at bringing children up by hand, anyway. I ain't built that way. I want you to go for them young roosters at once, and get 'em into shape in short meter. Marching orders may come any day, and then we want everybody up and dressed. There'll be no time for foolishness. Those dratted little rats were all over camp last night, and into more kinds of devilment than so many pet crows. I've been hearing about nothing else this morning." "I'm Lieut. Snowden, of the General's staff," said the whisper. "I don't know��it may be in an hour or two, it mayn't be for a week." The price was now agreed upon, and the purse that accompanied the pursuivant's dress was more than sufficient to satisfy the exorbitant demand of the foreman. "No," replied Holgrave, "I cannot call your face to mind; but surely I must have heard your voice before." HoME �ձ�һ��Ƶ ENTER NUMBET 0018www.astartup.com.cn
