Katrina was happy to take some time out of her busy training schedule to answer some of our questions.
How did you get into triathlon?
I started swimming and little athletics when I was in early primary school then began competing in running events through school before following my dad and brother into triathlon when I was 15. From there I competed in National Schools Triathlon Championships & National Cross Country Championships. My parents have always been very fitness focused which lead me on the same path.
What drew you to compete in triathlon?
Because I had competed in so many different sports when I was young, I found it hard to just focus on one and leave all the others. I was doing well in both swimming and running in high school and decided to give triathlon a go so I could pursue both of them. The challenge of getting all three disciplines going well at once is addictive.
