Hayley Peirsol Moves On To Triathlons

Posted September 8, 2008 at 5:07 pm by Suz in Swim Chicks Rule!

When we posted about Hayley Peirsol’s retirement from swimming, earlier this year we were pretty shocked.

But then one of her teammates told us that she was just “over it” and burned out. Then we understood completely.

Hayley has now turned into a triathlete and is loving it! Her goals include making the 2012 US Olympic Team as a triathlete.

According to the Daily Pilot, Hayley has already competed in 3 races and is already winning again.

“I just figured I would try this out. In the past two months, I’ve become more passionate about it, more than I ever had been about swimming.”

The Swim Aids wish Hayley well as she embarks on this new and exciting journey!
