Relatively new to the sport of triathlon, but with some big (read Ironman!) goals ahead. A lover of chocolate, and training itself, Kerryn thrives on challenging herself and enjoying the journey and we can’t wait to share her first Ironman journey with her!
Name: Kerryn Adams
Nickname: Kez
Age / Age Group: 40-44
Lives: Port Melbourne
Targeted Sport: Triathlon
Years in the Sport: Coming up to 3 years
How did you get started: It was a spur of the moment thing to enter a 2XU sprint tri with an ex-partner. I hadn’t done an open water swim before, only had an old hybrid bike and bought a wetsuit the day before. So it made for an interesting first race but I had a lot of fun and soon fell in love with the sport!
Why I choose CPC: I’m someone who enjoys training but can get caught up and overdo it a bit much! So having a structured training plan designed specifically for me and my goals is important. I’ve heard good things about CPC and Sarah and love the philosophy and focus on communication and education as I still sometimes feel like a newbie to the sport.
What I ‘get’ from my sport: I can’t imagine my life now without triathlon. I love the variety of training and racing in a sport that involves 3 different disciplines. I’m very goal oriented so I enjoy the challenge of learning and trying to improve across lots of different areas. I also find the health benefits of the training are so important for me as a way of disconnecting from work. I also love the supportive atmosphere surrounding the sport and have met so many great people. I’m doing things in this sport that I would never have dreamt were possible for me a few years ago – eg attempting an Ironman race!
Ultimate Goal: To complete an Ironman. Hopefully Busselton December 2024!
What I couldn’t live without: Chocolate – the training helps me feel less guilty when eating it!
Biggest love: See above – chocolate! And also travelling.
Pet peeve!: Slow walkers!
(oh yep, let’s go – we’re on a mission even when walking!) haha
Interesting fact about me: When I was in high school, I lost my voice for about 2-3 months and had to learn how to speak properly again!
