Around the horn in Women's Triathlon
A Great Day Down Under
At Coeur we focus on the effort. To us, results are an outcome. The work is the precursor to the outcome. We obsess over the process and we appreciate people who work hard.
Our sponsored athletes work hard. We mean really hard. Like fall down nine times get up ten kinda hard. And today, we are celebrating the results of that hard work.
Yesterday, we had four of our professionals racing in Australia and New Zealand. Kim Schwabenbauer, Michelle Duffield and Kate Bevilaqua were racing Ironman Melbourne and Katie Hursey was racing the ITU World Cup in Plymouth.
For those of you who don’t know Kim, Michelle, Kate and Katie, not only do they work hard, they are also some of the classiest and most professional individuals you’ll ever meet. In the office, we talk about our “Coeur Values” of honesty, integrity, hard work and the desire to make other people’s live better through health and fitness. These women are the absolute embodiment of those values.
Meet Coeur ProTriathlete Kim Schwabenbauer
Driven by Dreams
At Penn State, she attended a home track meet and dreamt about what it would be like to be on the team. The next year, she was wearing those Division I colors and lining up next to some of the best runners in the country in both track and cross-country.
In 2005, she was introduced to the sport of triathlon at a local YMCA race and dreamt of “going long”. By 2011, she had two Ironman amateur championships under her belt.
