Name: Michele Vaughan
Alter Ego: MAV (my initials) .....or "make it happen"
Real Life Secret Power you’re secretly proud of (example: i am a wizard at bagging groceries ….it’s true. Grocery Tetris Master Bagger.) Don’t be shy. We all have our own special gifts.
I have enough of a Spanish vocabulary to get by in a foreign country. That combined with an amazingly authentic accent, easily convinces my English-only friends I’m fluent. Spanish speaking friends would say otherwise, but are too gracious to voice their feelings.
Most used motto/mantra for dealing with life:
It’s a tie between: “Suck it up Buttercup” or “You can get glad in the same pants you got mad in”.
What do you do for fun unrelated to triathlon (there’s life beyond triathlon?):
Long motorcycle rides with the hubs. Wind therapy eases so many of life’s stresses

Spirit Animal
Most unfortunate place nature has called….(if you’re new to this and you’ve never pulled over roadside to answer the emergency call of nature....welcome. Soon, you too will understand how to poo undetected in your neighbor’s yard and forgo decades of socialisation to pee yourself.)
So far, worst place has been at the DT Airport. I was sure my shoes “needed” tightening, so I just sat on a patch of grass. Both shoes and bladder were right as rain in about 60 seconds. Back on the bike and off I went.
If you were arrested with no explanation what would your family assume you had done?
Assault. Likely in defense of someone else. Can’t stand a bully or injustice.
Main goal over the next 3 months (in addition to relentless forward progress!!):
