Personas

Amanda Knight

Amanda is a single woman in her early twenties nearly finished with a Bachelor's degree in history. She is about to start an internship at a museum. She likes to work on a desktop and play on her tablet. Amanda jogs every day, but had never participated in a marathon or triathlon before her roommate invited her to join her. She pitched the Prison to Prison Triathlon, knowing Amanda's love of history, and has a plan to help her build up to that level gradually.

Robert Caldwell

Robert is a 60-something Caucasian man who has been athletic all his life. He still runs marathons and triathlons and has no intention of stopping anytime soon.

He is only so technologically literate, but just found the Prison to Prison Triathlon on his desktop and wants to know more.
