Ruth Corset: CYCLING/MOUNTAIN BIKING

Ruth Corset was a triathlete before having her 2 girls, Stephanie and Caitlin. However, with the demanding training schedule for 3 disciplines (swim, cycle, run), Ruth decided to stick to just one - cycling. She has forged a successful career in the sport, being awarded the 2009 Australian Female Cyclist of the year and taking out the 2010 National Road Race Championships. She is now giving endurance mountain bike racing a shot.
