Katie Walker 🇬🇧 AG Triathlete
Katie's Career
Katie has been swimming, cycling and running since a very young age and has found even more passion for the sport in the last 2 years and with more focus on training has made rapid gains. Last year she competed in the Cornwall Triathlon Series, winning 4 of the 4 races she entered, which resulted in the overall series win. She has also represented Cornwall for both cross country and road running up to a good national level.
After competing in sprint & standard distance triathlons in 2023 she knew she wanted to step up the distance to the challenging 70.3 and chose to do Outlaw Half in Nottingham as her 70.3 debut where I finished 1st in her age group (20-24). Not a bad debut! She actually finished 10th overall women overall in a time of 4 hrs 49 minutes.
She then went on to compete at the IronBourne Half in Eastbourne just a few weeks later and she again won her age group and in doing so became British Champion for her age group and qualifying for the world's, finishing 8th overall female, all despite a crash and it being her first race on a full TT bike. Onwards and upwards!
Katie came on board with BornBound after winning a BornBound prize at an event and she loved the product we asked her to join us. We look forward to working with her as she continues with her passion for the sport. She is truly Born Bound to do something great in triathlon!
