Siri then retired while at the top and pursued her passion to help others reach their potential in triathlon and now coaches a great group of athletes who are part of Team Sirius. A well-spring of positive energy, Siri knows how to get the best out of people. Her incredible coaching career includes Olympic medalists, Multiple Ironman World Champions including her legendary partnership with Mirinda (Rinny) Carfrae. Siri and her partner Rebekah (Bek) Keat are also the first openly gay couple in the triathlon limelight, a happy ending to the a long struggle described on the pages of Surfacing: From the Depths of Self-Doubt to Winning Big and Living Fearlessly.
