How triathlon has impacted your life
Completely! What started off as a couple group sessions a week and few sprint races in the summer has quickly turned into an all encompassing life adventure. My leave and holidays are now often scheduled around racing. I’ve learnt a lot from triathlon. The importance of maintaining physical and mental health and committing for the long term. There are no short cuts in triathlon, hard work and consistency pays off. Triathlon has bought balance and structure to my irregular shift work schedule.
Having a positive, encouraging and supportive community in JET has provided me with the perfect place to push myself, learn and grow in triathlon and life. Especially when the Coach is always checking in and keeping me accountable.
Dream Goal
