Stacie McClure

I have been a member of the club since December 2021. Like many of our members, I got into triathlon by deciding I was going to do one AquaBike race (Swim, Bike, Done) just to say that I could do it and I fell in love with the sport before I even got to that first race. I still primarily race AquaBike but have recently started dabbling with running. I have 2 boys that are now young men, and live in Saint Charles with my oldest, while my youngest is in Phoenix playing college basketball.

When/Where was your first triathlon?
Carlyle Lake Triathlon – Sprint AquaBike – September 2021.
What is your favorite race?
New Town Triathlon! Even though I am not a runner, I have suffered through/walked the run every year since 2022 because I love the bike course and the community and the great organization that Big Shark brings to the event!!
What is the most challenging moment you’ve had during a race?
The swim at every single race 😉
What is your favorite place in or around St. Louis to train?
The flat country roads between New Town and Portage des Sioux
What is your favorite thing about triathlon?
How good my body and mind feel when I am training and in shape. I’ve had a bad couple of years but hopeful to get that feeling back before the next racing season.
What is the one piece of tri-geek gear you can’t live without?
Power meter pedals
Tip for new (or veteran) triathletes?
If you are new or have a new goal – work with a coach!! (Feel free to ask me for my personal recommendation)
