Colleen Cannon might have been a world-champion triathlete in the 80s and 90s, but theres not much thats serious about this athlete. The now-46-year-old says even her entree into the racing world was a fluke. “I didnt even know what a triathlon was. I thought, ‘It must be like the walkathon I just did,” she says. When Colleen found out she had to ride a bike, she showed up with her college-student model, complete with baskets and a kickstand. Despite that inauspicious beginning, she went on to win world and national triathlon championships (riding a real racing bike, FYI). Along the way, she discovered something: “Training isnt just about grinding it out and competing. Its about evolving to more of who you want to be. Wow! Thats kind of like life.”<\/p>\n
After retiring from racing in 1992, Colleen founded Womens Quest to help others transform themselves from the outside in through physical activity. Her five- to seven-day retreats are a mix of yoga, trail-running, cycling, and soul-searching sessions—oh, and lots of fun. “You might say I have a PhD in play,” says Colleen, whose favorite playtime activity is running with her horses. “That way, when I come to a hill, I can just jump on.”<\/p>\n
