This week's Apple Inspired Athlete is Kathy Wise
City? Kelowna, B.C.
What is your occupation? Physician
How long have you been a triathlete?
I started in the summer of 2010
When was your first Apple? How many triathlons have you done?
My first Apple was the Sprint distance in August 2010. I did the Olympic distance in August 2011 – so 2!
What Apple event will you be registering for in 2012?
If all goes well, I hope to do the Olympic again.
What got you interested in triathlon?
Well to be honest, I was having a glass of wine with a friend who said they had signed up for a triathlon clinic. I was looking for a change from running so with a bit of extra courage from the wine, I signed up too!
What positive effects has triathlon had on other aspects of your life?
Training for the triathlons gives me a great stress outlet. It offers some balance in life and I don’t get tired of doing just 1 sport because I am always changing what I do. It keeps me fit, healthy and happy!
Do you have any specific triathlon goals for 2012?
I would like to do 2 Olympic distance races this year along with a 2-3 sprints.
What’s your favourite part of the Apple Triathlon?
I love the finish – the crowd is so supportive.
Any other comments you’d like to make?
I really encourage new triathletes to join a clinic or club and train with some friends. It adds a social component to training and makes the whole experience a lot of fun!
