Andrea lives in South Portland with her family and owns Scarborough Yoga.  She started doing triathlons in 2007 and was immediately hooked.  Andrea got her USAT Level 1 Coaches certification in 2009. She is also a RYT 500, YACEP and E-RYT20, and Reiki Master. Andrea blends the triathlon training with the balance that yoga can provide. Andrea  loves sharing her enthusiasm for the training that goes in to completing (notice completing rather than just competing in) a triathlon.

“I’ve found that my body responds much better to doing a variety of activity rather than the same thing day after day.  Training with a group of women friends is not only fun and encouraging, but a great connection!  I am constantly astounded by the power and strength of women!”

Julie had a long career in her family business at Jordan’s Meats. After the sale of the family business both her and her mom endured the diagnosis of breast cancer. Through this journey she found her real passion: Triathlons and raising money to find a cure for cancer. Julie completed her first triathlon just one year after her cancer diagnosis and was hooked! She can't count how many triathlons she has participated in over the years, but it includes a half iron distance on her 50th birthday and the Boston Marathon in 2014. Julie is the founder of Tri for a CURE, which is an all women’s sprint triathlon that raises money for the Maine Cancer Foundation. Julie owns an events planning company called Inspired Events and also owns a premium indoor cycling studio with her daughter Paige called CycleBar .

Coreen Lauren has been a member of the Greater Portland running community for 40+ years. In late 2006 while hiking near her home she had an unexpected fall resulting in a mild traumatic brain injury. Following her accident she spent a year in rehabilitation at New England Rehab where she focused on learning new ways to think and deal with life’s every day challenges. Following her rehabilitation she reconnected with the Maine running community and started an all women walk to run program. Through her own experiences she is able to talk first hand with women about new beginnings and starting over. Coreen's strengths in coaching are identifying and removing barriers and setting realistic, attainable goals for herself and her athletes.

Linda lives in Kennebunkport and was a competitive swimmer for nearly 15 years, including D1 at Bucknell.  She got turned on to triathlons in 1989 and after a hiatus with career and kids, re-entered the sport around 2010.  Linda qualified for Worlds 70.3 and had a top 6 AG  (45-49) Ironman finish at Tremblant 140.6.  Then menopause and a deteriorating hip had other plans, so she did a 10K and a 10 mile swim when running wasn't an option.  She swam all summer in local ponds and the ocean. Her favorite is a "down the marsh" tidal assisted swim in Scarborough. Linda has a bionic hip and is back to running- she plans to race some triathlons this year and am super excited to be a part of SheJAMS and meet everyone!
