It was sink or swim for first-time triathlete Christine Burke of Lower Nazareth Township as she signaled for help from the waters of Bear Creek Mountain Resort’s 5-acre lake.
Christine Burke, a Lower Nazareth Township mom, wife, school nurse and accomplished marathoner, had declined multiple invitations from her running pals to compete in the Bald Bear Triathlon, a sprint-distance triathlon at Bear Creek Mountain Resort near Macungie. “I don’t do lakes, and I don't do mud,” Burke repeatedly told her friends, all of whom are Lehigh Valley moms. They call themselves the "Mommies on the Run." The "Mommies" met six years ago at the Bethlehem Township Community Center. Enrolled in First Strides, a beginner walking and running workshop for women, they found each other -- and themselves -- through running. Over the years, the group has managed to balance family and careers while training and competing in 5K, 5-mile, …
