my life by introducing me to the sport
of triathlon.
Did you ever race triathlon professionally?
No, my full-time job is as a Regional
Manager for one of the largest healthcare
companies in North America. It requires
long work hours and travel. During the
five years of racing in the sport of
triathlon, I tried to train as much as
I could around my work schedule, often
getting up around 4am for a run/bike ride
before work and swimming after work
or going to track workouts. I averaged
approximately five races per year,
completing 24 triathlons.
Why did you decide to make the switch
from triathlon to polo? My passion
has always been my love for horses.
I’m a competitive person and the sport
of polo has captured both my passion
and my drive to compete. My father is a
thoroughbred race horse trainer, breeder
and owner, so I guess horses are in
my blood. I took lessons and attended
coaching chukkas a few times during the
six-week triathlon off-season each year.
I knew I would have to play more than
a few times a year to get good but my
commitment was to triathlon racing. I
planned to transition after I accomplished
my triathlon goals, which I did last year. »
