Years In The Sport

Since 2008

Sporting background: golf (does that count?). As a kid – i played softball and Ukrainian danced (yup I’m from Edmonton)

Why I do triathlon: The challenge of putting together three sports – one of which i had never done before (swimming). I love the fact that i can compete against myself while still having the ability to compete against others. After not returning to work outside the home when we had our second child, I needed something that was my own and also satisfied my competitive type A personality. I have also really enjoyed the social aspect of racing and training. What a great community the triathlon world is!

Triathlon Accomplishments: I consider even completing a triathlon an accomplishment. Completed Chinook half ironman and Calgary Ironman 70.3

Triathlon Goals: My goal is to improve all three aspects of my race – actually 4 ( over 10 minutes in transition is a little too long). My swim is the area that I want to improve the most.
