A Lifetime of Love with Fitness
Tanya can not remember a time in her life when she was not physically active; she was always outdoors, always doing sports. "I have been figure skating since I was 4 years old, competed nationally in synchronized skating and achieved Gold level in ice dancing. I was also on the varsity team at university in Canada for 3 years. As a child I played baseball and swimming in summer, ice skating and snow skiing in the winter. During school I played basketball, volleyball, athletics, high jump, field hockey and was on the swim team. In Australia I played water polo, mixed indoor netball and ran the Melbourne Marathon 2000, several half marathons and many triathlons."
