Life
Docherty and her brother Bevan grew up in Taupō, in the North Island of New Zealand and attended Tauhara College. Their father Ray was a keen triathlete and their mother, Irene, and their children trained and competed with him.[3]
Docherty competed in international triathlons and duathlons from 2002 to 2007.[1] One of her most successful races was her first attempt at the Powerman Zofingen long distance duathlon in Switzerland in 2003, which she won.[4]
In 2007, she was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome and underwent medical treatment. On recovery in late 2008, she decided to focus on running,[5] and in 2010 she decided to target marathon running.[6]
