About Me

Run Pic 1Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

Who is Runner Leana?

I’m an adult onset runner and triathlete.  Growing up I was not athletically inclined at all.  I hated the mile I had to run around the track in school every month and scoffed at the idea of a runner’s high.  In my early 20s I was encouraged to sign up with a corporate team to run the 10K Vancouver Sun Run.

Despite never running more than a mile before I actually really enjoyed the race.  Over the next few years I ran the odd race here and there but it wasn’t until I moved to Calgary in 2006 that my love for running really took flight.  Before I knew it I was signing up for my first marathon.

Somewhere along the way I decided to buy a bike and to see if I could still remember how to swim.  Now here I am with seven half Ironman races and three full Ironman races under my belt.  What’s next?

Outside of the swimming, biking and running I’m a wife, an engineer, and a wine enthusiast.  I love to travel and try new foods.  My husband Neil and I have the best little Scottish Terrier named Peat.  We all just recently moved from Calgary, Alberta to Vancouver, BC where I am a full time MBA candidate at the UBC Sauder School of Business (class of 2018).
