Tormoen won the women's title at the Powerman Zofingen long-distance duathlon in 1993 and 1995. Powerman Zofingen, held annually in Switzerland, is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious events in long-distance duathlon. During the peak of her career, she was considered one of the top female duathletes in the world.[1]
Unlike many multisport athletes of the era, Tormoen specialized in duathlon (run–bike–run) rather than triathlon. She retired from elite competition in the mid-1990s.
