Eva Kodouskova
February, 2020
In 2017, Eva joined her coworkers and signed up for a sprint triathlon in Upstate New York. Without a wetsuit or bike shoes, she got on a podium and qualified for the AG Nationals. Eva enjoyed the competition and the supportive and fun atmosphere of the triathlon community and decided to give the triathlon a try. After two years of racing, she qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Nice. Eva’s next big challenge is the full Ironman.
