Enduro
Athlete match: Kaitlyn Teasdale
I am an enduro racer hailing from Whistler BC. I grew up riding in the WORCA dirt camps were I started to love riding. When I was in highschool I took part in the North shore race league and it sparked my interest in racing. For the next few years (until grade 11) I focused on racing XC with the BC team, and it is where I first was apart of the RLG program by being mentored by sandra Walter.
I then found that the technical aspect of riding suited me more (and I enoyed it more), so I made the switched to enduro.
Last year, was my first year traveling over seas where I did the European back of the EWS. I had a pretty successful year, achieving 2 top 20s at the North American EWS and 2nd place at Nationals!
This year I will be staying in North America, with the focus on becoming a “smarter” racer and in hopes of getting a few podiums.
Along with racing, the past five years I have been at UVic doing a degree in kinesiology in hopes of becoming a practitioner and continue to work with athletes.
I am excited to encourage the next crowd of up coming shredders make their mark in the MTB world.
Is there anything in this upcoming season you are especially excited about?
Excited to take more of a coaching role and jusy enjoy riding and start to push myself in new ways.
