Triathlon Experience
Suzann has 20+ years of training and racing experience including racing professionally from 1987-1991.
In addition to race experience, her education allows her to stay current on the latest published literature on endurance sports and apply the science to training. Importantly, throughout her triathlon career, even while racing as a pro, she has maintained a busy career as a marketing professional (including travel) and other interests such as kayaking, cross country skiing, cooking and gardening. This combination of triathlon results, education and balancing the demands of a busy career uniquely positions her to understand how to maximize success in the sport of triathlon while juggling the demands of job, family and other life activities.
