Backstory
From a young age Tanille has focused on integrity and following the rules.
When Tanille was four years old she was in the car with her mother who was pulled over by the police after rolling through a stop sign. Trying her best to avoid a ticket, her mother claimed not to have rolled through but Tanille piped up from her car seat and said, “Yes you did!” It has since been a family joke that Tanille would send even her mother to jail.
An interesting tidbit
In 2023 Tanille competed in her first Tough Mudder competition braving winding, single-track, shoe-sucking mud and other obstacles.
She’s pretty sure she’ll never do that again.
