Natalie Yuncker

Natalie is a 31-year-old pharmacist who works for University of Michigan Health Sparrow Eaton in Charlotte. She was born in Shepherd as the oldest of 7 children and now lives in Grand Ledge with her boyfriend Kyle and 2 cats, Hansel & Gretel. Natalie joined a running group in Grand Rapids in college and decided to try spin class for cross training. This quickly led to triathlon races in 2015. Since then, she has completed all distances of running & triathlon's from a sprint triathlon to 2 full Ironman races and 5k's to marathons. Her favorite of the 3 disciplines is biking followed closely by swimming, and running is far off. She much prefers long distance triathlon over short course, as slow & steady wins the race! In her free time she enjoys reading, traveling & enjoying delicious foods & drinks.

2024 GOALS

My goals for this year are to get my fitness & health back! I want to prioritize waking up in the early morning hours to finish workouts before work when my motivation is higher. I have no specific racing plans for the year (minus the Greenville sprint with the team). Although, FOMO is real so who knows what I'll end up doing!
