Kelly Lefler

June, 2018
Kelly tried several sports growing up before settling on swimming and running. She was nowhere near the front of the pack in either but had fun and continued to do both, occasionally running a 5k or 10k with friends and family and swimming as cross training. After becoming a bike commuter, she realized there were races that did all three of these sports. She signed up for the Chicago Triathlon with Team in Training and fell in love with the sport! Since then, Kelly has raced sprint through IM distances. One of her favorite things about triathlon is the fun supportive community.
