My first sprint triathlon was in Ukraine in 2013, where I participated on my mountain bike with my dad’s support. After that experience, I was hooked! A few years later, after moving to NYC, I wanted to find a local community and meet new people, so I joined BTC in 2017. My unforgettable kickoff was the Pancake Triathlon on Staten Island. I’m grateful for the many connections and friendships I’ve built through our shared love of the sport and the support we offer each other in this club.
