Help Get Rita to World Championship

Rita began competing in Triathlon races in 2016. She instantly fell in love with the sport. No coach, no bike of her own, no sponsors, just plain old drive, a pair of sneakers, and a tri suit, she qualified for the 2017 USATriathlon Nationals in Omaha, Nebraska and competed there last summer to win a place on TeamUSA for the 2018 ITU Triathlon World Championships in Gold Coast, Australia - a very long way from home! She has been training herself, still no coach or sponsorships, and competing successfully alongside pro triathletes at local/regional events. We are thankful to a friend who has donated a bike to her! She will be competing at Nationals again this summer and works to continue getting stronger and faster. While there are many perks to being a member of TeamUSA, many of the expenses fall to the athletes. Not being a paid professional triathlete, or having sponsorships, Rita is asking for help to get her to Australia this September!

Music City Triathlon 2016 - the race to start it all!

Sporting her TeamUSA suit, Rita competed in the  Music City Triathlon again in 2018.
