Rowena Sinclair-Smith is one dedicated and determined woman. Mother of three, granny to one, swim school owner and lnstructor in ACT, astute business woman and a passionate competing Triathlete.
Rowena recently purchased a house in the Whitsundays and now commutes between Canberra and Airlie Beach.
She is a committed member of our Whitsunday Triathlon Club spending her time training in the sugarcane fields with other club members.
For a longtime Rowena has had the ambition to race for team Australia in the
half and full lronman World Championship Events.
In 2010 she competed in her first Triathlon. Her performances to date include 13 Full lronman and up to 2O latt lronman which have taken her from Port Macquarie, Busselton, Cairns, Los Cabos Mexico, Wisconsin, Mont Tremblant, Harvey Bay and elsewhere throughout Australia.
This year her dream came true after finishing on the Podium in first place in her age group category 50-54 at Port Macquarie and gaining automatic qualification to go to the World Half lronman Championships in Lahti, Finland on 26th August 2023.
This course is held in beautiful green pristine surroundings at the Northern most destination for any lronman event.
Rowena was amazed when she also qualified for a spot to go to Kona, Hawaii to compete in the Full lronman event earlier this month.
Kona is the pinnacle of All Triathlon Sport. Professionals and Age Group triathletes from around the globe dream of racing on this, the lronman Main Stage.
lt is one of the most incredible races on this planet. The best of the best embark on a 3.8km Ocean swim, 180km cycle, finishing with a 42km run all through the barren lava fields of Hawaii.
For most it is the Ultimate test of strength, mind, spirit and endurance.
To represent your country and do a Double is no mean feat, but for this Triathlon champion nothing is impossible. Rowena competed in Finland then backed it up with completing Kona.
The Whitsunday Triathlon Club is privileged to have this enthusiastic woman as part of our club. A magnificent achievement and a very welcome addition to our training members.
Watch her future success closely.
