Holli Finneren
June, 2018
After playing D1 soccer and trying a few months of normal college life, Holli quickly realized she needed a competitive and athletic outlet. She surprised herself with a 2nd place finish in her first race at the Georgia Southern Sprint triathlon with a borrowed bike and head up swimming. A year later she was in grad school in DC, found a bike on Craigslist, and dove in head first to the local triathlon scene. She’s gradually increased her race distance and currently races everything from
sprint to iron distance.
