A L Nesbitt
Board Member - At Large
A native of Raleigh, AL started buying running shoes at InsideOut Sports when she joined the high school cross country team in the nineties. It wasn’t until ten years later that she finally competed in her first sprint triathlon. This was the beginning of a great passion for endurance sports and AL completed her first IRONMAN in 2011 at Lake Placid. These days she is focused on teaching her two small boys the joys of swim/bike/run, racing shorter distance tris, and giving back to the triathlon community through her service to the club.
