MEGAN SOBECKI is a professional triathlete focused on the half- and full-Ironman distances. She grew up competitively swimming in Indianapolis, IN, and went on to compete at the Division I level at Eastern Illinois University. She took up triathlon after college to stay in shape and try something different besides swimming. In 2012, she moved to The Woodlands, Texas, as an Assistant Head Coach for Magnolia Aquatic Club. She then discovered long-distance triathlon in 2017; this became her new passion.

In 2019, Megan raced a few halves, finishing in the top 10 overall females and qualifying for Worlds. At the end of 2019, she qualified for KONA at Ironman Maryland, her third Ironman. In 2020, she raced Ironman Florida, resulting in an 8th-place finish overall for females. Qualifying for the 70.3 Worlds in 2021 with my partner Jason was another great experience and career highlight.

Megan started coaching swimming at the age of 14. Little did she know it would lead to a passion for swimming and triathlon. While coaching swimming and triathlon, she realized she wanted to share her knowledge of the sport with others. She began coaching triathlon in 2019.

Megan has coached kids and adults, from beginners to elite-level athletes. She joined NVDM in 2023 and is coached by Alice Alberts. Megan lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with her partner Jason, who is also an Ironman athlete, and his daughter Kennedy, who plays club volleyball.
