Caroline started her journey as an amateur triathlete in 2002 and today competes as a Professional. What a trip!
Soon after turning 30, Caroline started to take inventory of her life. Her health was foremost on her mind. Weighing in at over 165 lbs, wearing a size 14, and smoking at least a pack of cigarettes a day - it was time for a change.
With a solid commitment to changing her life and improving her overall health, Caroline began her transformation at Franco’s Athletic Club in Mandeville, Louisiana. The weight gradually came off and the smoking habit was totally eliminated. A prescription drug and sheer determination made sure that the cigarettes were gone forever.
Fitness became Caroline’s new obsession. What a great tool to turn your life around! One year after quitting smoking, Caroline competed in her first triathalon.
Now, eight years into her journey, Caroline Smith is in her second year racing as a Professional Triathlete and a member of the ZOOT ULTRA TRIATHLON TEAM.
