Joes Becoming Pros
KAT and Fresh Air Experience Athlete FeatureContest
Winner: Dani Sarbit

Dani Sarbit is our first winner of the KAT athlete feature contest sponsored by Fresh Air Experience. She is now the proud owner of a 25$ Gift Certificate to Fresh Air 

and a KAT cycling jersey! 
Here is our interview with her:

Q. Have you participated in the KAT in the past or will this year be your first time?

A. I participated last year and did the Olympic distance. 

Q. Why did you choose to do the KAT in the first place? 

A. I choose it because it’s in my hometown - my kids could come and watch and cheer me on. I also chose it because I needed a goal.


Q. What was your favorite part about your triathlon experience?

A. The training definitely - I trained with a bunch of girls I really enjoyed training with. There was always someone willing to go out. It made it nice because we enjoyed each others company but also I made an effort to go out - they were encouraging and motivating.

Q. What was your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?

A. Fitting training in - finding the time to train in between working, mothering and the day to day stuff that is required of someone to run a household. You just have to make it happen whether its 6 in the morning or 8 at night.

Q. What advice do you have for everyone else training for their KAT race?

A. Set the goal. The first thing is to set a goal then find a group of people you enjoy training with and make it fun. Schedule your training time in that’s probably the biggest advice I can give. 

Q. What was the best part about the race?

A. It was getting a big hug from my kids after - they were so proud and I’m being a good role model for them.
