In her second season as a triahtlete and runner, Beth Gerdes continues to build the endurance sports community. Beth is passionate about changing the mindset that triathlon is an “individual” sport and wants to focus on the team, mentorship and support aspects of triathlon. It’s all about bringing like-minded active people together to achieve fitness, health and friendship. She loves to lead the weekly lululemon Carlsbad run club and can’t wait to create new group workouts that bring out new faces and revitalize those in search of something new.

As the only female athlete on Breakaway Training’s elite triathlon team, Beth trains hard to keep up with the boys. In 2008, she won the Orange County International Triathlon, the Imperial Beach Triathlon, and age group champion titles in the San Diego Triathlon Series and the Xterra Southern Caliornia Trail running series. Her favorite accomplishment was a 3rd place overall finish at the Las Vegas marathon in 3:03 (that's three hours, three minutes, folks).

In 2009, Beth’s goals are to break 3 hours in a marathon, compete at the Ironman or Half Ironman World Chamionships, and keep her title at the San Diego Triathlon series.
