The Unstoppable Karen Lue: From Small-Town Girl to IronMan Triathlete

Ever struggled with finding your fitness passion and overcoming personal obstacles? Coach Karen shares her incredible journey from small-town Ancaster, Ontario to becoming an accomplished triathlete. We reminisce about her childhood as an overweight kid, her life-changing experience with the Woodland Challenge program, and her ongoing journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
Karen opens up about a pivotal injury that led her to fall in love with cycling and shares how she developed her skills and met fellow cycling enthusiasts like Karen Verk at the Flyers Cycling Club. As her passion for cycling grew, she met her riding partner, and they embarked on a new adventure together - triathlons.
From starting with a 10K bike ride to competing in sprint distance triathlons, Olympic distance, and her favourite, the half Ironman, Karen's determination and drive are truly inspiring. We discuss her first race in Syracuse, New York, the challenges she faced, and how her experiences led her to conquer a full Ironman.
