Hi! I'm Kaisa Rahu – Secretary General of the Estonian Triathlon Federation, a personal trainer and a marketing and media professional. My life is defined by variety, passion and a desire to keep growing. I have always believed that if you do something, you should do it with heart and great dedication. That is exactly how I found my greatest passion – triathlon.
I've had the sports bug since childhood. I've tried many sports: dance, tennis, cross-country skiing, running... But my true love for endurance sports took hold in adulthood, when I returned to skiing and discovered the joy of running. In 2021, I first entered the world of triathlon when a friend of mine was preparing for her first half Ironman, and watching her preparation from the sidelines made me want to try it too.
At first, injuries and life changes delayed my participation, but in 2022 I finally made it to the start line as the cyclist in a relay team. From there, everything moved quickly – in the summer I raced the half distance as a cyclist in Tallinn, and in 2024 I did my first individual races at both the Olympic and half distance, followed by a second half distance in Šamorín, where I won my age group. This summer I also took 3rd place in the Olympic distance at the Estonian Championships.
What fascinates me most about triathlon is its variety. It's not a sport where you can rely on natural talent alone – alongside every strength there is a weakness that needs work. Triathlon tests your body, mind and willpower. Every training session and race teaches something new – about yourself, about sport, about life.
I have lived in America and Canada, but my heart has always belonged to Estonia. I love movement, travel, sunshine and snow. I believe that movement is the foundation of life – it keeps us healthy, happy and connected with ourselves and others. That is why, through my work and activities, I want to inspire people to move more, dream big and live actively.
