MEET Chelsea

Chelsea is a life long runner turned triathlete. She ran professionally for four years, and decided to pursue triathlon after the 2016 Olympic Track Trials.

“I had struggle with a lot of injuries and wanted a fresh challenge,” Chelsea explains. She did her first triathlon in March of 2017 and got her professional license in that race. It's been a wild ride since then!

She pursued short-course racing with some success for a little over a year, and then moved up to Ironman 70.3 racing after she met her now coach Matt Dixon of Purple Patch Fitness.

“I feel like I was made to be a long-distance triathlete, and I've loved this opportunity to have a second chance at pro sports. My goal is to contend at the Hawaii Ironman World Champs. I have a lot of training ahead of me, and a lot to learn, but I have so much passion for my sport and the best team around me to guide this pursuit.”

FOLLOW Chelsea’s LEAD

“An Athlete for Yoga uses yoga to optimize their performance. They know that they need to be a complete athlete to be at their best. They need to move properly and find balance. An A4Y pushes their body to it's limits, but makes time to reset and come back to center.”

“I use Athletes for Yoga pre-run, post-bike, and on Sunday evenings to reset before I begin another week of training. My favorite pose is legs up the wall.”
