Desiree Davila
Desiree Davila ran her first marathon in 2007 in Boston and went 2:44:56. How much has she improved? At the 2011 Boston Marathon she ran the third fastest marathon for an American woman in history with a 2:22:38 and finished a mere two seconds off of the win. How does someone go from 2:44 to 2:22 in the span of four years and also qualify for the 2012 US Olympic Marathon Team? Desi?s formula is pretty damn simple: Talent, dedication, perseverance, and patience.

How good is Paul Amey? Good enough to go 8:01 at Ironman Arizona this past November and, some people feel, good enough to win pretty much any time he?s on the start list. Plus, who else races a wet and slippery Columbia Muddy Buddy dressed in costume a week or two before his most important Ironman race of the year?
