Name
Jacquie Earl
Age Group
20-24 haha 🙄 alright there are no secrets in triathlon – 50-54
Years in the sport
Did my first fun tri in 2003… so a few years!
What brought you to the sport?
Hubby was doing the BRW then continued to do a few sprints after that, and I followed him. Here I am still going many years later and he’s playing golf 🤔
Biggest accomplishment in the sport?
Completing a triathlon chafe free… only joking it’s never happened. Maybe my third IM where I’d had a terrible time the year before at Port Mac, so I went back the following year more determined and even went up there a month before to do a full recon training session ahead of the race.
How has triathlon impacted your life?
I could have travelled the world 3 times over with the $$$ I’ve sunk into this sport 😊 –
I’ve had great adventures, travelled and made great friends, and it’s often the mishaps you look back on and laugh about, like missing the swim start of the Geelong 70.3 and sleeping in before the Shepparton 70.3 and just making it to transition before it closed….the adventures and mishaps have created some great memories.
Dream Goal
To finish a triathlon chafe free
Dream Race
One where the water is warm, flat and calm….oh, and there’s a good after party!
Something interesting about you which most people would not know
I’m fussy about bananas. Oh and I’m prone to chaffing!
