About My Blog:
Welcome to Triple Threat Life! I’m Brittany Vermeer – a triathlete, writer, and photographer.
While the name “Triple Threat Life” pays homage to my triathlon roots, this blog is for more than just triathletes. It’s for all athletes and really anyone seeking inspiration and encouragement in their lives.
I don’t claim to be an expert, but I want to share the knowledge I’ve learned from so many others who have helped me along the way via triathlon tips, life lessons, product reviews, and even the occasional guest interview.
The mission of this blog is simple: to inspire, encourage, educate, and empower.
A bit about me:
- I’ve been a writer and photographer for 15+ years (I work with Triathlete Magazine, Outside Run, IRONMAN, ect.)
- 6 x 70.3 finisher, 1 x 140.6 finisher, 2 x 70.3 World Championship qualifier
- I have an incredible husband named Matt and a pup named Ellie Mae.
- My favorite sport is a toss up between cycling and swimming, but I’m starting to enjoy running too… sometimes.
