Head Coach: Suzan Ballmer

• Masters Degree in Education – McGill University
• Level II Canadian Coaches Association

Suzan became one of the first triathlon coaches in Canada in 1989 and has worked with athletes of all ages ranging from beginners to World Champions. As Head Coach of the #1 ranked Titans Triathlon Team in Quebec from 1991-1998, Suzan coached many of Canada’s best amateur triathletes and duathletes from Sprint to Ironman distances. Her technical expertise in the three sports and the transition phase in triathlons, profound understanding of level appropriate workouts and philosophy of enjoyment has been a recipe for success with athletes under her tutelage.

Triathlon has always been Suzan’s main focus, however, her coaching experience was enhanced by accepting the position of Head Coach of Concordia University Track & Field and Cross Country Teams during the years 1993-95. In that capacity she was fortunate to work with some Olympic level as well as University athletes.

In 1996, Suzan won the prestigious Femmes Des Merite (Women of Distinction) Award for her coaching and race directing work in athletics.

Suzan is an accomplished triathlete. Throughout her career, she was ranked consistently in the top three in Canada in her age group and qualified for many National Teams in both Triathlon and Duathlon. Suzan represented Canada at the Hawaii World Triathlon Championships and short course World Championships in Lausanne as well as many races in the U.S. Upon moving to the United States in 1998, Suzan raced to an All-American ranking as a masters triathlete.
