Every now and then, you meet someone whose triathlon story feels both relatable and unexpectedly inspiring. Elise Serbaroli is one of those people. In this episode, Elise shares how a simple curiosity about the sport turned into a source of healing, growth, and community. From borrowing her uncle’s old bike to navigating major life changes, Elise found steadiness and joy through triathlon, and today she leads one of the largest triathlon clubs in the DMV region as the president of the DC Tri Club.
What makes Elise’s story so special is her heart for beginners. She speaks candidly about self-doubt, the women she encourages daily, and her conviction that kindness is a vital leadership skill. As she navigates her rise from club participant to board member to president, Elise shares how she balanced burnout with the help of a new coach, learned to ask for help, and started embracing rest without guilt. She also gives us a peek into her favorite parts of training, her pre-race playlist, and why authenticity is her superpower.
Throughout the conversation, Elise reflects on the beauty of being teachable, the importance of showing up, and the friendships that form when people choose to move through life together. Whether she is discussing weekend hikes, race preparation, or grabbing a drink after a workout, one thing is clear. Elise lives triathlon with intention, humility, and a whole lot of joy.
This episode serves as a reminder that triathlon is more than just a sport. It is community, courage, and the gentle nudge we sometimes need to keep going, even when life is shifting beneath our feet.
