CLARA COSTAGANNA
   
How many years have you been in Triathlon? 05/06 was my first season.
Why did you start? I was told that I was overweight and I wouldn't be able to complete a triathlon, so I set out to prove them wrong.
What's your favourite race? Elwood sprint.
What's your favourite leg? The run because then I know it's nearly over.
If you could win one event in the world what would it be? I'd be happy if I won any event..triathlon, aquathon....
What's your favourite drink? Red wine and champagne (not together).
What's your best race? Any that I finish.
Is there something you eat which you shouldn't? Chocolate (I don't know the meaning of 'moderation' ).
Who is your idol? Lance Armstrong.
What's the funniest thing that ever happened to you in a race? Turning up at a Brooks race knowing I couldn't swim very well, but thinking it couldn't be that hard... the swim leg took me nearly as long to complete as the cycle and run combined!
If you could change anything in Triathlon what would it be? The swim- we need a black line to follow so that I don't end up off course.
If you could have any kind of car what would it be? Freelander - plenty of room for my junk, bike and my dog, Baci.
