In a candid interview with Stellar magazine, Tricia expressed how the birth of her son has shifted her perspectives on life. She stated, “I no longer have any desire to do an Ironman,” highlighting the profound impact motherhood has had on her priorities. “When you become a mum, you quickly realize your whole life fits in around your kids,” she added.
Tricia’s journey has been marked by challenges, including the life-altering burns she suffered during an ultramarathon in 2011. Despite her previous focus on athleticism, she now finds herself valuing the precious moments spent with her son over running marathons.
Reflecting on her changed mindset, Tricia shared, “I don’t want to be out running for five hours straight. I know how precious life is, and I’d rather be with my son.”
While her athletic pursuits may have taken a back seat, Tricia celebrated a significant achievement by returning to her love of surfing in July. Posting joyful snapshots on Instagram, she revealed her triumphant comeback to the sport after years of overcoming physical challenges.
In a motivational message to her followers, Tricia encouraged everyone to pursue their aspirations, emphasizing that with dedication and consistent effort, anything is possible. Her journey serves as a testament to resilience, embracing change, and finding joy in life’s precious moments.
