In this episode of The Toughest Finish Line, we sit down with Bianca Fernandez-Clark, Chair of Women in Tri and a powerful voice for change in the endurance world. Bianca opens up about the challenges she’s faced throughout her own sporting journey — from navigating barriers in access and representation to overcoming the personal hurdles that shaped her path in triathlon.
Now, she’s using that lived experience to lead meaningful change. Through her work with Women in Tri and across the wider sports industry, Bianca is helping women break into the world of swim, bike, and run with confidence, support, and opportunity.
This episode is about resilience, advocacy, and the courage to create the change you once needed yourself. Bianca’s story reminds us that when we remove barriers for one athlete, we open the door for many more to cross their own toughest finish lines.
