How Parker got into triathlon
Parker Kerth was always an athlete. In high school, he wrestled, played soccer, and tennis, and even did gymnastics! While at first he hated running, he grew to love it especially once he got to college and could run in beautiful places.
After sustaining a running injury he started biking. Once his dad helped him improve his swimming technique he realized he could be a triathlete.
He did his first races without a coach and was quite successful–he even qualified for worlds! However, once he got a coach, his training went to another level.
