Meet Triathlete: Sarah Bettinger

Bio:
I am a mother of two incredible boys, Elijah (7yrs) and Logan (3 yrs). I have been teaching since 2003. I began teaching in Tully and have been teaching in Liverpool since 2006. After having my second son and injuring my knee I began a weight loss journey that has lead me to the world of Triathlons. In this past year, I competed in my first tri and have since begun coaching with the Fleet Feet team their Personal Best Running Program (formerly Advanced 5K), Winter Tri, and Summer Tri Programs. The journey from novice to coach has been an exciting and challenging one. I have seen immense changes and growth in not just my physical health but in all facets of my life. Who knew you could change your life so much in just a year!? I am excited and nervous to push myself even farther this year into the Olympic Tri Distance category. Looking forward to Tri-ing Again!
