I’m Crystal Clarke and obviously I’m a vegan triathlete. I started my triathlon journey in 2003 and since then have completed all distances of triathlon, including 3 Ironman triathlons and many halfs.

In addition to triathlon, I have many hobbies and interests. I also have an illness called bipolar disorder, which is a mental illness that I’ve worked hard to manage as, like diabetes, there is no cure. I’m not the most consistent triathlete, which makes my triathlon “career” all the more interesting.
