About Me

Brittaney Talbot is a 2009 Honors Graduate from the University of Connecticut, where she received a BFA in Acting and Puppetry. Yes, Puppetry. She is not yet entirely sure “what she’s going to do with it,” but you are welcome to ask.
A long time swimmer and athlete, Brittaney was a member of her high school’s cross country and track team as well as her town swim team. It wasn’t until her freshman year in college that she discovered triathlon and began to race every summer since. She has placed first in several races, including the Sharon’s Back Triathlon (2008) and Hockomock League Triathlon (2008), both in the Boston Metro area. On the west coast, she placed in the top ten in the Danskin Women’s Triathlon in 2008 and overall female first in the Ladera Ranch 10k in 2009.
In addition to holding a BFA, she also is certified in AFAA Group Fitness, Kickboxing, “Practical Pilates,” and Spinning. Using these certifications, she taught for four years with BodyWise, UConn’s Student Recreational fitness team, where she was awarded Instructor of the Year in 2009.
Brittaney enjoys coaching because admires those who are willing to leave their comfort zone and try something new. Her favorite times as an instructor and coach are the moments when a student or participant learns that he or she can go beyond even their own expectations and achieve a goal.
Perhaps her greatest accomplishment to date is being called “Mini Martha!”
If she had to choose, she would say Kermit over Ms. Piggy, chocolate over vanilla, Jefferson Airplane over Starship, and is a firm believer in sunscreen, karma, and the Oxford comma.
P.S. She LOVES her Boston Red Sox!
