Gran Fondo sponsors Shelby Sheffield, Triathlete


Gran Fondo sponsors a very successful triathlete, Shelby Lynn Sheffield. Shelby is currently riding a custom Tommasini time trial bike and her season is shaping up to be a real success story.

 

During the week, Shelby works as an attorney in Nashville, specializing in environmental law. Come the weekend however, Shelby transforms into a triathlete. Shelby considers Triathlon as the perfect outlet to a very stressful job, but trying to be successful in both is sometimes harder than finishing a race! Her accomplishments in triathlon stem from a background in swimming, and being a weekend warrior on the bike and the running trails. She also enjoys watching NFL football with her husband and playing with her two dogs.

The 2003 events capturing Shelby's focus for the current year include the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii; October 18, 2003 and the 2003 ITU World Triathlon Championships in Queenstown, New Zealand; December 7, 2003. Gran Fondo Cycles and Tommasini USA are pretty stoked to see Shelby enter these events as our sponsored female triatlete.
