Sara McLarty

I competed in my first triathlon when I was 7 years old. I have a younger brother, Dustin, who is also a professional triathlete. We both swam in college for the University of Florida Gators. I love to compete in Adventure Races with my best friend and we started our own company called “Hide-N-Seek Productions.” I coach and train at the National Training Center in Clermont, FL.
