Velocity Multisport: VMS Athlete Spotlight

Velocity Multisport: VMS Athlete Spotlight: Meet Velocity Multisport athlete Lisa Broadfield.  Lisa is new to VMS this year and we are very happy to have her.    Lisa has been in the US Navy for over 10 years.  She works in the aviation field at HSM-48 NS Mayport.  She has been in Jacksonville almost 4 years and hopes to stay here and make it her home.  Lisa is a 4th year PhD student at Walden University where she studies Organizational Psychology.
She has competed in numerous swim events, Sprint and Olympic distance races and running races.  She is interested in getting more involved in mountain biking and off road races.  Currently she is training for her first 70.3.

  

Her most impressive achievement recently was a local swim fundraiser.  This month Lisa swam for Up the River Downtown.  

"Up The River Downtown was a 10k river swim from the St. Johns Riverkeeper headquarters at Jacksonville University to the Riverside Arts Market on Saturday, September 7, 2013, in Jacksonville, FL. The ten swimmers in the event were surrounded by a flotilla of boats, kayaks and stand up paddlers. The swimmers collected donations which benefited the Special Olympics Florida." - Bruce Lipsky
