Jun 13, 2010 4:21 pmTeresa Byrnes, 44 just finished the EagleMan. Her strength, both mental and physical is incredible. A year ago tomorrow, just before Eagleman 2009, Teresa was diagnosed with Stage III Breast cancer. She made a decision to still race, as she did not know when or if she would get the chance again. She had a mastectomy on July 15th followed by chemotherapy and then radiation. Fortunately, she was able to "train" through the whole process, which really helped both mentally and physically. Now just 6 short months after her last Chemo, she finished Eagleman again. She has a whole new perspective on racing now, and plans to enjoy every moment, no matter how painful. She is just happy that she is still here and able to race again!
