Ohio based children’s author, Laura Ceville, has announced that she is training for her first triathlon. The event is set for 11 June 2017 at Deer Creek State Park in Mount Sterling, Ohio. It will be a sprint triathlon, with 0.5 miles of swimming, 12.4 miles of cycling, and 3.1 miles of running to finish it off. She is currently in her fifth month of training, which she hopes will culminate in the IRONMAN World Championship in October of 2019–the year she turns 40.
Athletes gain entry into the event in three ways: by earning a slot at a qualifying event, being selected in the IRONMAN Legacy program or by winning through the IRONMAN charitable eBay auction.

Laura Ceville was born in Panama City, Panama, and came to the United States at a young age. It was here that she fell in love with the English language and kindled a dream to write fiction. She majored in English at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado and has gone on to publish a range of books.
She is also an Air Force veteran, graduating in 2002 as a Second Lieutenant. She separated from the Air Force in 2006, seeking to pursue the dream of getting published.
Laura published her first book in 2013, called My Dog, Jack. It features heartwarming illustrations, and she has since published four Kindle books, which are all available on Amazon. In addition to her writing career, Laura is the Vice President of The Brubaker Company, a mortgage and retirement protection company based in Eaton, Ohio.

Don has been competing in triathlons for 26 years, and brings a wealth of experience to her training, helping Laura to get in the best shape for the event.
