Workout Wednesday with Michele Tuttle

Workout Wednesday has been a longstanding tradition at the International Triathlon Union, where we like to honour and showcase some of the best triathletes in the world - you!

We’ve talked to medallists from the 2016 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Cozumel age group races in both the standard and sprint distance sport classes and have asked them to provide their triathlete story along with their favourite workouts, proving that no matter your age, gender, race or country, anyone can tri!

This week we have Michele Tuttle, a dietian from the United States who earned the silver medal in Cozumel in the sprint distance. Her second place finish got her a place back onto the World Championship podium after she was a bronze finisher in 2013 at the London Grand Final. What is the best thing you can learn from Michele? That races always tastes better when French Fries are eaten afterwards!
