The journey has been more than two years in the making - with the past 12 months being the most focused and committed stretch of training we have ever done. Without sounding cliché, the hard work paid off. We both clinched our Ironman 70.3 World Championship qualifications for St. George, Utah in September. Our sights are set to prove we belong on the world stage, continuing our improvement and progression in the sport of triathlon.

Also, stay tuned for how you can help support Team Saunders! We are blown away by all the feedback, cheers and inquiries as to how you can contribute to us sharing this journey. We have some exciting projects in the works and look forward to announcing it all soon.

Welcome to the YouTube home of Team Saunders Tri - Cait & Tif

Caitlin began her triathlon career in 2012 on a fat tire bike and no swim background. She met Tiffany when she was training for Ironman Texas 2013. Accompanying Tif through most of the training (minus most of the swimming), and serving as a finish line catcher volunteer, catching Tif at the end of her first Ironman, it didn't take long for the triathlon bug to bite. She completed her first full Ironman in 2015 and added another in 2017 - crossing the finish line both times hand-in-hand with the love of her life.

Tiffany's triathlon life started in 2009 with The Rookie Tri at the Texas Ski Ranch. From the time she crossed the finish line, she was hooked. Since then, she has added 3 full Ironmans to her resume' (Texas 2013, 2015, 2017). But it's the 70.3 distance that has been her favorite calling. Since her first Ironman 70.3 in Galveston in 2010, Tiffany has crossed the Half Ironman finish line 15 times, including one Ironman 70.3 World Championship appearance - with Caitlin - in South Africa in 2018.

Team Saunders is documenting the journey of training, life and taking on new challenges along the way. A pair of Age Group triathletes, they hope to motivate and inspire others to find their own challenges.
