Welcome to Th Agegroup Multisport Podcast
On this Episode we speak to Gemma Berry, She reached out and said she would like to share her story. Gemma says"
'I Grew up in Perth (Australia) in a sporty family - especially a very successful Mum. Hockey, swimming, gymnastics, trampolining, surf lifesaving....
After high school got into powerlifting, then about 2003 running - could only run 1km!
Fast forward a few years, moved to Melbourne, Australia and new friends were
into tris - I resisted as I hated the cycling. But did a few events in a team. Did my first solo tri in 2008, loved it, then had kids in 2011, 2013. Finally got back into the sport in 2015, slowly progressed my way thru the age group.
Younger son was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018, so tris took a back seat - but I ran and ran and ran (helped me deal with it emotionally). Ran my first marathon in 2019 as a fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer, then got back into tris.
Done a few 70.3s - went to Taupo WC in Dec 2024, now hoping to qualify for Woolongong AG Champs in Oct this year. "
Hope you are inspired by Gemmas journey.
