Meet Joyful Tri Girl

Joy Braun is a 12x Ironman finisher throughout the USA, New Zealand, and Mexico. She has had many podium finishes in all distances, from sprint to Ironman (yes, 140.6 miles!) triathlon, in addition to run races, 5Ks to half marathons. In 2011, Joy (aka Joyful Tri Girl) qualified for the Boston marathon, and in 2019, she qualified for Kona. Her personal record for an Ironman finish time is 11:19. Prior to that, it was 11:28, achieved while recovering from a broken pelvic bone. Joy was a ballerina growing up – no swimming, biking, or running. Triathlon became her passion, and she set her focus. She dreamed it, so she did it! You can, too!

Joyful Tri Girl has been coaching online with Training Peaks for swim, bike, and run since 2015. While she enjoys all distances and abilities, she specializes in the newer athlete with big dreams.
