Inspired by her daughter, who was 12 at the time, and her personal experience, she decided to bring the benefits of visualization, affirmations, nutrition and active lifestyle that the sport of triathlon gave to her, to adolescent girls who could benefit. Roden launched i-tri in 2010 and the original pilot program consisted of 8 middle school girls at Springs School. Since its inception, i-tri has coached 1400 girls across the finish line and now serves more than 200 girls each year in 13 school districts from Mastic to Montauk.
