TIME TO TRI: PART 2 with Katie Matthews and Kayla Edwards

TIME TO TRI: PART 2 with Katie Matthews and Kayla Edwards

It’s beginner’s season. Well, actually it’s always beginner season for us because there is always a race to learn to TRI. For the month of June, we will highlight beginners as they share their stories. It’s the modern-day race report if you digg.

This week’s featured beginners are: Katie G. Matthews and Kayla Edwards.

Katie G. Matthews knows that if at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and tri again, thanks to Aaliyah for making those lyrics popular. First, Katie was encouraged by her Life Coach to try a tri. Then, she learned about Chris Nikic's amazing Ironman Florida finish. This one-two punch inspired Katie to uplevel (or level up?) her fitness lifestyle. Yup, she’s been bit by the Tri Bug! But before she can confidently tri… she has to secure her Ph.D. (you have to listen to get it!)

Kayla Edwards has found the will to tri from the power of mentorship, youtube, and sheer determination! At 14 years old, Kayla isn’t letting any barrier stop her. Learning how to swim just 9 months before her first race, taking she took the initiative to find a training plan and train herself. Her “Big Brother Big Sister Mentor” loaned her a bike, and the doors have opened to a future of possibilities to tri and tri some more. When we tri beginner’s luck, there are always lessons to to learn. Kayla’s had to learn about a USAT rule that leveled up her age.

Don’t forget to leave a review, share it with your friends, and Follow Tri Beginner's luck on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. And send any questions or feedback you have to imreadyto@tribeginnersluck.com.

Cheers to defying the odds and being trailblazers, Let’s Tri this!
