I was introduced to the sport when I volunteered to work an aid station for the Duathlon competition at the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama. I had enjoyed running and riding my bike, so after learning of the sport, I decided to give it a try. I competed at my first duathlon in July, 2022 with the goal of just finishing. After that I competed in the 370 Lakeside Park duathlon and saw the St. Louis Triathlon Club tent so I decided to get more information. I talked with a few of the members and I joined the club in October, 2022. Being a “newbie” to both the sport and the club, I am always looking to learn anything I can and pass on any knowledge to others. So far I have only raced duathlons, but my goal is to race my first triathlon in the summer of 2024.
