Iva-Mari Miskulin

Hello, my name is Iva-Mari and I'd love the opportunity to be your social secretary!

This past year Triathlon has become my favourite extracurricular. Coming into my first year of Tri, I could hardly run more than 5 minutes, was an average biker, and an ok swimmer. It felt daunting to join the sport with so little experience and I was quite anxious. However, once I attended a couple activities and talked to some members of Triathlon, I knew I had found my people. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and even though I was a complete beginner they were patient and helpful when I asked for advice and I felt very comfortable. This January, with the support of Triathlon I ran my very first race at Crystal Palace, and I couldn't have asked for a better crew :) I hope to bring the same energy if I become social sec.

At Triathlon there is a great balance between training, socialising, and partying and I'd like to keep this up next year. Some ideas include pancake night (with pure Canadian Maple Syrup provided by yours truly), themed club nights, laid back parties with a game of funny presentations and many pints of lime and soda, and of course lots of training socials!

I would like all new and existing members to feel exactly as welcomed as I did when I first joined and with your vote we can make this a reality!

Thank you and let's continue to Tri Hard!
