This month's fun fearless females: the reasons these Cosmo readers live up to the title.(Brief Article)
Sarah Reinertsen, 28
Program manager
Coronado, California
Fearless: My left leg was amputated when I was a kid, but my disability inspired me to challenge myself. Recently, I completed my first biathlon. I was competing with able-bodied people, but I wasn't intimidated. It was intense because I'd just learned to ride a bike, plus I had never swum long-distance in the ocean. My ultimate goal is to do the Hawaii Ironman triathlon. No other woman with a prosthetic leg has ever competed in it.
Fun: I'm obsessed with house music. When I go dancing, I dress in sparkly tops and eyeliner, rye even gone to the Winter Music Conference, a major deejay event in Miami.
Lauren Finkelstein, 34
