Ironmom: Training and Racing with a Family of 7

(Familius) Following the delivery of her sixth child, stillborn, Mette Harrison decided to train for the Ironman triathlon as part of her recovery from grief. This memoir shows how she went from a couch potato to a nationally ranked triathlete — while raising five children. Harrisson is a published YA fiction author and a stay-at-home mother of five. She has been involved in triathlons since 2004 and is currently nationally ranked by the USAT for her age group. She also trains family members and friends.
