“My heart goes out and will always be with the back of the pack.” 🫶
Coach April came to triathlon after seven years of competitive powerlifting. She was a gym rat, not a swimmer. So when she talks about the athletes at the back of the pack, she knows exactly what it takes.
Starting a sport later in life, without the background, the means, or the environment. Taking on three sports instead of one. Finishing healthy and strong. Every part of that is a major accomplishment.
Back-of-the-pack athletes, we see you. Surviving it is hard. Thriving in it is something else, and you’re doing it. 💪
