My journey to the start of my current day discipline, triathlon, was a journey that, over the course of several years, consumed me bit-by-bit. Slowly, triathlon encompassed my life and became my career focus in 2008. But it wasn’t before I had ended my 8 years as an elite swimmer, back-packed New Zealand, Australia and Asia during my gap year as a university student, and successfully completed my Master’s Degree, that I truly embarked on my journey as a professional triathlete.

While my professional journey started back in 2008, the non-professional, amateur exploration of triathlon started in 2004. I’ll never forget it! It is still clear as day; my very first “Try-A-Tri” called “Women with Power”. I wore a baggy shirt, had a bike three sizes too big, and didn’t really have any clue what I was supposed to do other than swim, bike and run as fast as I could. I won that event, but it didn’t captivate me. It would be 2 years later that I would complete my second triathlon and it was there, in 06, that sparked my dream of becoming an Olympian.
