Guest Bio 

Camile Baptistse is the Chief Race Architect  Fun Director behind Swim, Bike, Run Fun Events. She is a  wife, mother, and all-around person who loves to laugh, dance, swim, bike, run, hike, and mentor those around me to achieve their goals in entrepreneurship, multisport, and cycling.

Camile fell in love with triathlons. She  had to learn to ride a bike in the backyard with bubble wrap and swim with floaties. Every training session, every race - they all prepared her to be a better athlete, a better professional, a better mentor, a better parent and an overall better person. Triathlon and endurance racing progressed  from a hobby to a way of life.

Camile has competed in hundreds of races and events ranging from obstacle courses to running, triathlon, cycling, duathlons, and aquabikes, and she enjoyed all distances up to 70.3. The rush of crossing the finish line of a triathlon, duathlon, aquabike, or splash and dash is real! Unlike any other.

 

Suffering from an injury necessitating major surgery in 2020, as well as two years of rehab and limited full use of her legs, she found herself on the couch rehabbing and designing races, planning cycling routes for clubs, and making sure that at the finish lines athletes  enjoy and have fun at local events.
