The Lensography of TriathlonTraining

Thank you for stopping by my lensography!

I will continue to update it as time goes along.

My name is Shea and I love Squidoo. I always enjoyed writing research papers (I know, weird) and feel that Squidoo is a perfect place to write about whatever I am interested in.

More About Me 

Currently, I live in Minnesota with my dog Bailey (whom I found at a Humane Society). I'm not very sure of his age, but I know that he must be about 8 or 9 years of age, at least. He's a wonderful little fella.

In addition to working a full-time job, I also own a small side business selling triathlon training products online. I've had the business since 2006.

Yes, that's a "loon" on my helmet

 

I have found that, although I enjoy it, swimming is not a strong suit for me. Whew!

I enjoy outdoor activities of all sorts, camping, nature, history, architecture, food, and too much to list. My interest in all sorts of stuff is one of reasons I love Squidoo. I can write about anything I like and don't have to build an entire website about it.
