Dorette Franks
In 2000 I raced my first triathlon – the Wildflower Long Course. That first Wildflower experience 25 years ago taught me that “anything is possible”. This young girl who had a debilitating hip ailment captured her greatest aspirations at that very first Wildflower Triathlon. Not only had I become a top competing elite and age group racer, but I also went on to race Ironman, Ultraman, and the Boston Marathon.
