  • My boyfriend, James - We've been together 3.5 years and he's only seen me race once in person. He's highly interested in my career, but has his own interests and isn't just a tri fanboy. He keeps fit, but he's not an elite athlete. James really keeps me grounded and helps keep my life in balance. Since pro triathlon is a career that influences every aspect of your life, it's easy for it to become a 24/7 obsession. For me, that's not ideal or conducive to longevity in the sport. James is my lifeline to the outside world!


  • Thank you for your transparency on this front as well. It took qualifying for Boston and 70.3 worlds, then winning a few local races at my end before thanking/referencing my partner on posts. Not sure why it is as much of a deal these days, but it is nice to see male athletes at the highest levels get over the stigma/fear that comes from acknowledging that our personal lives are a bit different from the norms.

    Are you anticipating any additional publicity as a result of this revelation (in conjunction with 3 - 70.3 wins and an IM win this season) and how do you intend to avoid making it a distraction?
