About Me

Ali Brauer 
Professional Triathlete


My introduction to the multisport world came at an early age. Growing up in Bend, Oregon, I participated in a wide variety of sports: swimming, track, soccer, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, and basketball. The former two activities stuck, and I remained a dual-sport athlete throughout college at Lewis & Clark in Portland, Oregon. There, while double majoring in math and physics, I earned 11 varsity letters in track, cross-country, and swimming.



After injuries brought an end to my collegiate running career in 2015 and a coursework-intensive master's program constrained my ability to train throughout the following year, I used a move to Boulder, Colorado in the summer of 2016 as a fresh start both academically and athletically. While beginning my doctoral studies, I resumed training on my own terms and in a way that I knew would keep my body happy and injury free: the multisport way. One day, while swimming at CU Boulder's student recreation center, a multitude of national championship banners - belonging to the CU Triathlon Team - caught my eye. Then, on a whim, I decided to try an aquathlon. Shortly after that, I bought my first TT bike. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Athlete Mental Health and the Collin Chartier Case

Yesterday the triathlon world was rocked by news that American pro Collin Chartier, last year's winner of IRONMAN Mont Tremblant and the PTO US Open, was suspended for 3 years after testing positive for EPO - arguably the biggest doping case in the sport's history. I do not know Collin personally. However, I looked to him as an example of a fellow pro who seemed to chip away year by year for multiple years and finally had his big breakthrough. Though he denies doping with EPO until November 2022, his admission that he has taken L-carnitine (a substance that disgraced track and field coach Alberto Salazar was rather enthusiastic about) for quite some time speaks to the fact that at best, he has been sitting in a grey area for a while, and his progression in the sport is not as it seems on the surface. What struck me most deeply about Collin's situation was his explanation that poor mental health as a result of going "all in, too much so" is ultimately what drove hi

Sometimes Being Bad at Things Is a Good Thing

A few months ago, I made the decision to stop all structured training in an effort to regain my health. I've been struggling with Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) for over a year now, and after a lot of trial and error, it became clear that I needed more rest - mentally through less structured training, and physically through less training in general. Throughout this unstructured period, I have placed emphasis on moving my body in ways that bring me joy. Accordingly, I have freed myself up to try new things purely for enjoyment. This is in major contrast to the last four years of my career, during which enjoyment was tossed aside in favor of an "all-in" mindset and an all-consuming pursuit of success - and during which I operated under the idea that anything non-triathlon-specific would detract from my triathlon endeavors. But recently, through my efforts to combat burnout, I have realized that this is not the case at all. In fact, these non-triathlon-specific
