Potter, Michele
An intense and committed athlete, Michele Potter has completed the full distance Ironman triathlon, a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run, five times. Completing an Ironman just once is often an athlete’s crowning achievement. Potter is also the director of Parks, Recreation, and Culture for the City of Gaithersburg, the department that proudly organizes the Gaithersburg Book Festival. Potter enjoys weekends at home with her husband, and long runs with her dog, Chase.
