John O'Shaughnessy: Survivor. Triathlete. Speaker. Adventure Racer.

John lives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, which he has nicknamed Tri Mecca because of the concentration of great triathletes training here. Surrounded by positive influence from a variety of triathletes including past Olympic and Ironman World Champions, how could John not pursue excellence in triathlon?

John lives with his fiance Christine and attends the University of Victoria where he studies Political Science and Professional Writing. John also works part-time with adults who have developmental disabilities. When he is done school, John is looking forward to having more time to dedicate to his lifestyle and the people in his communities.

He trains between 20-26 hours per week in swim, bike and run disciplines.
