After moving away from sport in her early 20s, she got back to sport in her mid 30s. After starting a family and having two kids, she wanted to use sport as her me-time. Soon, she discovered the world of triathlon and dove right into it. From someone who didn't know cycling or running, to taking a win in 70.3 event in Colombo, Srilanka and qualifying for 70.3 world championships in France, she has seen a great progression.

Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete.
