Corinne Ellison (28) grew up in Derby, UK and now lives on the beautiful south coast of England. After obtaining a BA (Honors) degree, Corinne worked as an emergency department nurse before completing a further degree in midwifery. While providing health care, she enjoyed the challenge of combining shift work, with starting a business and training for endurance events! Corinne currently runs a UK events business with her business partner (www.boothstar.co.uk). She is also training to become a success coach and hopes to empower others to achieve their goals and open their minds to the endless possibilities in life.
After a non-sporting background, Corinne took up running in 2006 after watching her boyfriend complete the London marathon. The sheer emotion and atmosphere of the event spurred her on and she began to run regularly. After completing her first marathon in 2007 and finishing in 6:19, Corinne became passionate about improving her times. This passion extended to triathlon after she joined the local triathlon club. At her first olympic distance triathlon, Corinne finished third....from last! Undetered and remaining focused, she continuing training knowing she had more to give.
