Rachel’s first triathlon experience
On Monday, Rachel shared on Instagram that she had a ‘silly fall’ during the triathlon.
“I did end up in hospital after a very silly fall – thank God no broken bones,” she wrote.
Rachel said she now has newfound respect for triathletes and looks forward to participating again.
“I did my very first triathlon today!! I have a whole new respect for these athletes. And honestly… I think I’ve caught the bug. If you’ve been thinking about doing one, this is your sign to just sign up! Here’s to many more adventures!”
Since her breakup with Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, Rachel has focused on solo adventures, self-development, and mindfulness.
She recently posted a video capturing her post-divorce solo adventures, with the caption: ‘Fall in love with showing up for yourself again and again.’
Rachel also recently announced her new initiative, Falling Forward, set to launch in 2026.
On the initiative’s website, she said the platform will provide insight into her work and passions.
“This site is a window into my world: the projects I’m building, the stories I’m telling, the communities I am building, and the causes I’m passionate about,” she wrote.
