Nancy Schmeler
Nancy fell in love with cycling in her youth and with Triathlons in 2013. After a not so friendly neighbour told her she could never complete an Ironman, she signed up for one of the most challenging races in North America – Ironman Lake Placid – Not only did she finish, but she beat her goal time!
She has since completed several 70.3 Ironman races as well as Ironman Chattanooga, Mont Tremblant and Arizona improving her time by over an hour and 45 min. Over the last 5 years Nancy finished with several age group podiums in Sprint Distance Triathlons.
In 2022 Nancy will guide visually impaired athlete John Tomasino in his 1st Ironman in Mont Tremblant. They have raced several Olympic Distance Triathlons &Muskoka 70.3 in 2021.
Nancy is also an avid Road Cyclists and raced with Highgate Racing – now Dig Deep Racing.
During the winter months, aside from the DIG DEEP studio, Nancy can be found in Milton riding the boards at the Velodrome, where she also races in the Ontario Cycling Association O-cups and is a tandem para pilot for visually impaired athletes!
A certified NCCP coach, Nancy is focused on working with new athletes and those returning to sport after a long hiatus. She has a special interest in encouraging women to join her in the sport of cycling & triathlon.
Melissa Mountain – Masters Road Cycling
I began Cycling as I was retiring from competitive body building in my early 30’s. I quicky fell in love with Road Cycling as my exclusive discipline. I joined D’Ornellas Cycling Club and was lucky enough to learn from Eon, Bonnie, Lori Ann, Harvey and other amazing supportive club members (there are honestly too many to name!). That is also where I met Nancy and we’ve gone on to become friends and now teammates.
As my passion for Cycling grew, I’ve gone on to race competitively in Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia where I now proudly call my home. Although I love the feeling of stepping onto a podium as much as anyone, some of my greatest achievements have been sharing my love of cycling with my husband Kenny and my stepson Brandon.
These days you can find me training for my next road event, racing with my team of #bikesisters on Zwift during the winter months, riding with my local cycling club and sharing my love of cycling with just about anyone who will listen to me.
