My Triathlon Story
At the age of 28, I found myself carrying some extra weight. I knew I needed to make a change, and that’s when I discovered the world of triathlons. As a former skier and gymnast, I already had a foundation in physical fitness. Combining three disciplines into one race intrigued me, and I took the plunge.
My first event was a sprint triathlon. It was one of the most challenging things I had ever done, yet the sense of accomplishment I felt crossing that finish line was unparalleled. That’s when I realized I was hooked.
The training was far from easy. Swimming was my Achilles’ heel. My speed was slow, and I found myself tiring quickly. But I persisted, putting in countless hours in the pool, pushing myself to improve bit by bit. It was a grueling process, but it taught me the power of perseverance.
