About Joy
Joy is a 13x Ironman finisher throughout the USA, New Zealand, and Mexico. She's achieved podium finishes in all distances, sprint to Ironman triathlon, and in run races, 5Ks to half marathons. In 2011, Joy qualified for the Boston marathon, and in 2019, she qualified for Kona (Ironman). Her personal record for an Ironman finish time is 11:19. Prior to that, it was 11:28, achieved while recovering from a broken pelvic bone. Joy was a ballerina growing up – no swimming, biking, or running. Triathlon became her passion, and she set her focus. She dreamed it, so she did it! You can too!
Coaching Philosophy
I want to support you on your journey to conquer your goals. Training and racing should seamlessly fit into your life, and it should be fun!
