Inspired beyond words. Meet Amy Gluck

                                                                          Amy Gluck Triathlete

They say one of the roles of a teacher is to prepare students for the future.  In that regard, endurance sports is one hell of a teacher.  It compels us to work hard. It teaches us humility. It teaches us how to set goals and the thrill of meeting them.

But maybe most of all, it teaches us to endure hardship.

If that is the case, then our next athlete is definitely a straight A student.

It is with sincere admiration, a dose of awe, and great pleasure that we announce our Heart and Courage Ambassador, Amy Gluck!

In September of 2012, Amy was in Michigan putting the final touches on her annual Kona prep when she nearly lost her life. While on her last long training ride, Amy, who had the right of way, was hit by a gravel hauler truck. Her injuries were devastating and many thought she would not survive. In fact, most thought she wouldn't. She was a beloved member of the triathlon community and that community was in shock.

But those who know Amy know that she was a fighter and she never gives up.  In an awe-inspiring display of courage, tenacity and toughness, Amy endured a medically induced coma and multiple surgeries.

At Penn State, she attended a home track meet and dreamt about what it would be like to be on the team.  The next year, she was wearing those Division I colors and lining up next to some of the best runners in the country in both track and cross-country.

In 2005, she was introduced to the sport of triathlon at a local YMCA race and dreamt of “going long”. By 2011, she had two Ironman amateur championships under her belt.
