After a 2nd place at the Boulder Peak triathlon in July, I hung up my TT bike and have focused on draft-legal racing. I finished 15th at Montreal WTS and achieved my first-ever World Cup podium, second behind fellow EDP athlete Summer Cook, in the Yucatan. On Saturday, I anchored my hometown Cleveland Rock & […]
Triathlete Life
Update from Renee Tomlin
In less than three weeks’ time I will be gearing up for the World Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands. To be honest, it feels like yesterday I made the move to Australia to work with coach Jamie Turner and the Wollongong Wizards.

Outback Steakhouse and a Cold Fosters: Down Under Adventures Pt.1
Although Coach Jarrod hasn’t taken us to an Outback Steakhouse yet and I haven’t cracked open a cold Fosters while boxing a kangaroo, I have still managed to have a great time down here in Australia. The CRP Resident Program has been here for about 4 weeks and will stay here until the end of […]
Abu Dhabi – 2017 Season Start
The first race of the season is always an exciting one! I was extra excited to start the season at Abu Dhabi this year as it was a new location for me and starting things off in the big leagues. Previous years I have started at continental cups to test my fitness, but going into […]
