Bio
I ran competitively since the age of 12 competing in both regional and provincial cross-country levels throughout the years, but did not compete at the university level due to its demands. Following my graduation, I was encouraged to attempt my first triathlon, but this was not before seeing one in action. I was immediately drawn towards the inviting atmosphere the sport provided. In 2011 I competed in the Guelph, Belwood, Toronto Island, and Wasaga Beach triathlons, while finishing 8th (age group) in the last race.
As I trained, I sought the advice of sports trainers, endurance athletes and sports journals to help me learn more about my body. I was able to gain valuable insight and knowledge about healthier food choices and smarter training regiments that were specific to my body. I soon found myself swimming long distances comfortably. I began to set harder goals for myself that were realistic but still challenging. By achieving these, I felt happier with myself, and became addicted to the lifestyle. As I continue to train for the upcoming season I hope the knowledge gained from the previous year will help me attain my goals.
