2010 Iron Woman Mary Jo French died yesterday from a fatal cycling accident at the Ranch Ride.

You might remember her from her Iron season last year, which inspired many people. Always smiling and appreciating life, she was a cancer survivor and a great person and I consider myself lucky to have met her and briefly known her. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.

I saw her at the races last year, but sadly I didn't know her name. She would always smile and speak. I did not know her personally, but this is a great loss to the running community and the world in general. May the Good Lord be with her family and friends.
Somewhere , someone is training when you are not. When you race against them, they will beat you!
