Coach Del has been involved in Triathlon for 30 Years. Starting as a team cyclist she grew to love the sport, seeking to improve her swim and run. The first 15 years were about short and fast racing, it was here Del learned how to master speed training and recovery during a high-frequency race schedule. Del performed well in short course triathlon placing in both race and series events. In 1997 Coach Del qualified in Queensland as an Australian Level 1 Triathlon Coach.
