Like many folks who get into triathlon, Hamilton’s Kevin Mackinnon was introduced to triathlon after a running injury. That was in 1985 and he has never looked back.
Since then, Kevin has been at the right place at the right time, so much in fact that he’s been able to earn his living immersed in a sport he loves. After a successful career as an athlete, he went to journalism school and has traveled the world working as a writer, photographer, and as a race announcer.
In our conversation with the guy who is also the editor at Triathlon Magazine Canada, we talk about his experiences as both a racer and a writer. We also delve into how the Covid-19 crisis has impacted the magazine.
