Elmore, a 41-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., competed in the 1,500 metres at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, didn’t qualify for the next two Olympics, and retired from track in 2012. After the birth of her second son, Elmore had less time to train for triathlon and moved to the straight marathon. In her second ever race over the distance, she shattered the Canadian record, running 2:24.50 in Houston in January 2020.
