Julie Deery

With no previous triathlon training, Julie decided to sign up for an IronMan for her 40th birthday. Having little to no swimming experience and her only biking was to occasionally commute to work, she had a lot of hard training ahead. Julie ran several marathons in her late thirties but was looking for a challenge to really push her. She completed IronMan Wisconsin in 2005 and has been addicted ever since. She joined T3 in 2006 to get support and help from more experienced athletes. She continues to improve and hopes to help others now that she is no longer the rookie. Julie also creates and teaches art, is a licensed massage therapist and a mom (with teenagers).
