Madhu Tamilarasan is a GP (general practitioner doctor) now living in a regional country town in New South Wales who discovered triathlons in her mid-30s and has since fallen in love with off-road triathlons and mountain biking.
She’s gone onto race at both the Australian and ITU World Cross Triathlon Championships.
A proudly gay woman with an amazing wife, Madhu is also English born of Indian descent, and so she brings a unique perspective to the podcast.
And I am incredibly grateful to her for her vulnerability and openness in this very broad-ranging conversation.
We discuss everything from coming out to her parents, how she discovered triathlons, her experience as a woman of colour in a strikingly white sport and why she writes BADASS on her arm before a key race.
