I sit down with Elise Gorman, the creator of Tri Poll Athlete, a page many in the triathlon world follow to track start lists, race results, and athletes across the sport.

Elise started the page almost by accident after living with professional triathlete Renee Kiley and realizing how many athletes were racing each weekend without much visibility. What began as a simple idea—sharing start lists—has grown into a platform reaching hundreds of thousands of people each month.

Outside of Tri Poll Athlete, Elise works as a general manager in Australia helping deliver healthcare services to rural communities. In this conversation, we talk about the origins of the page, the personalities endurance sports attract, and why recognition in triathlon should extend far beyond the podium.
