Meet The Team
I joined Team B*REAL looking for structure and motivation, but I found so much more. Such an amazing, motivating, and judgement-free community. It's the kind of place where everyone celebrates each other's successes.

As I approached retirement, I wanted a new challenge, and a triathlon seemed perfect. Connecting with Adina was a game-changer. She's exactly the coach I needed – knowledgeable, a great communicator, and she guides me based on my abilities and goals.
If you want to finish well, then you have to keep looking forward. Don’t look over your shoulder, and don’t look behind you. Keep moving forward.

Coming back from surgery, I was hesitant about whether my body could handle training again. But Adina and Team B*REAL changed everything.
I'm always apprehensive about big goals. So, when I decided I wanted to tackle a longer distance open water swim and really improve my swimming technique, I was definitely nervous. Team BREAL is so supportive and Adina is relatable, encouraging, and empowering.

The last six months have been incredibly challenging, but Team BREAL has been my rock. I joined to improve my health and stamina, and I've gained so much more. Adina is an amazing coach – encouraging, knowledgeable, and hilarious!
I never thought of myself as an “athlete” but always felt I had an untapped potential for endurance sports.

As a lifelong athlete I knew what I wanted, but wasn’t sure how to get there. Adina took out the guesswork. She worked with me to create an individualized plan that allows me to focus on my "why": I will not let MS hold me back.

She admits that she has not always been the strongest, fastest, or most decorated triathlete but is confident in the truth that this does not define her as any less of a triathlete or endurance athlete.

Susan describes herself as an older, stubborn athlete who races to finish. She is unphased by outside condescending opinions or judgments and self-assured in her ability and accomplishments as a triathlete. She races to prove her capabilities and is steadfast and adamant on never giving up until she crosses the finish line.
Being an introvert by nature, I was never into the ”team scene”. I’m usually doing sports alone – me against me. I’ve been an active athlete for 30+ years and have been competing in events for over 20 years. I’m a triathlete, ultra runner, cyclist, surfer, open water swimmer, snowboarder, skateboarder.

I never thought I was an athlete until I was 41 years old and I heard a trainer tell me that anyone with a body can be an athlete. It blew my mind! All these stories I had told myself since I was a child, that I was "too fat", "too tall", "a girl", "a musician" "a nerd"...I had convinced myself that meant I couldn't BE an athlete. Man was I wrong.
I love triathlon because I can switch to a different discipline instead of racing in one sport the entire race which, to me, is much more interesting than a single sport race. I’ve reached the podium, raced in heavy downpours, finished last and even found myself on television when Outdoors Delmarva filmed our race.
