Lowlands Coaching

Geoff and Gerry had a great conversation with Lenny Ramsey. We talked about how Lenny got started with Triathlon after moving to the US and playing soccer prior, how injuries led her to Running, Swimming and Cycling. Lenny discusses how she balances work, family, friends and her professional triathlon career. Of course, we talk about the impact of the pandemic and her goals for 2021.

Lenny Ramsey is a Dutch Neuroscientist and Professional Triathlete living in the USA.

A lifelong athlete, Lenny picked up triathlon while pursuing her doctorate in Saint Louis. Under the guidance of Samantha Murphy at Evolve Coaching Systems, Lenny consistently stood out as a top athlete in the amateur field at the 70.3 distance. Lenny qualified for the 2015 Ironman 70.3 World Championships during her first full season of competition and went on to claim the title of 1st Overall Female Amateur at Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga and 2nd Overall Female Amateur at Ironman 70.3 Racine in 2016.

Lenny made her PRO debut in April of 2017 at Ironman 70.3 Galveston - representing the QT2 PRO Elite Team under Coach Tim Snow. Lenny went on to post 3 top-10 finishes during her first season racing in the PRO category. Midway through the 2018 season, Lenny turned her attention to the full distance and posted a 5th place finish at her Ironman debut in Lake Placid, followed by 2 more finishes on the podium at Wisconsin and Louisville. To kick off the 2019 season, Lenny confirmed she is a true contender in the Ironman circuit by throwing down an impressive 2:58:59 marathon in Lanzarote to claim her spot in the top-3 for the first time.

Lenny also is a member of the #iracelikeagirl PRO team.

Finally, Lenny is a USAT-certified Level I coach. She combines her passion for triathlons and teaching by serving as a multi-sport coach at QT2 Systems
