Meet Erin Burlovich!
Erin has been a physical therapist with the Jackson Clinics for almost 3 years and currently works in our Old Town office. This will be her third year racing the Nation’s Triathlon for team TJC! Erin swam competitively from age 6 through high school and played water polo for four years at James Madison University. She has always enjoyed running and competing in local road running races. She bought her first (and only) road bike while in PT school at the University of Delaware. Shortly thereafter, one of her classmates introduced her to triathlon and she fell in love with the sport. She loves the cross training and healthy lifestyle it promotes, as well as the positive atmosphere and sense of accomplishment displayed by athletes of all abilities on race day. Her most recent excitement was racing with her husband as he completed in his first sprint distance triathlon!
Erin came in SECOND last year in her age group!!!! Good luck this year!
