Name
Sarah Conlon
Age Group
40+
Years in the sport
2 seasons, then 2 babies later I returned this year
What brought you to the sport?
Fitness!! I love the variety of the different disciplines. It never gets boring. Also my dad has always been fit, When he turned 50 he ran the Great Ocean Road marathon 10 years in a row. I have always been impressed by him running distances that generally people find daunting. Triathlon is a bit like that for me, a true challenge that most people don’t sign up for.
Biggest accomplishment in the sport?
This year 2XU Olympic distance
How has triathlon impacted your life?
I’m fitter and stronger then I have ever been and that allow me to keep up with my girls. I have a sense of achievement when all the training pieces come together to complete a race. As someone who is very easily distracted triathlon keeps my mind focussed.
Dream Goal
Complete a Half Ironman
Dream Race
Melbourne 70.3
