Sophie Puente

---

Sophie Puente is 27 and moved to St. Louis in 2019. She became interested in competing in triathlons after reading Chrissie Wellington's "A Life Without Limits."  After playing hockey through college, the sport of triathlon has allowed her to continue competing in high-intensity sports and has provided a community that values both discipline and fun. This will be Sophie's 3rd season training and enjoying what the sport has to offer. Her favorite distance is Olympic, her first race was Lakeside 370 in St. Louis, and her proudest moment has been qualifying for the 2022 & 2023 TOYOTA USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships. Life is busy, but she has hopes of completing a Half Ironman in the next couple years.
