My name is Gina and my happy place is swimming in open water. I am currently working my way back to training for and competing in triathlons after a break from racing due to pandemic cancellations & a surgery.

I also enjoy endurance events of the literary kind and have participated in 24-hour readathons, NaNoWriMo, and the 3- Day Novel Contest. The Poetry Marathon is my favorite writing challenge.

This is my 3rd year participating in The Poetry Marathon. I used only the hourly prompts for my poems both years. I plan to do the same this year! I like the spontaneity and challenge of waiting for the prompts to drop each hour.

Time for a trip to the store to stock up on snacks & green tea!
