Age Group
55 – 59
Years In The Sport
15 years but that was 18 years ago. I’m back!
What brought you to the sport
Originally a challenge. I could not swim when I was 30 & thought what better way to fix that than to start triathlon. Now, also a challenge to see if this old body can get me through a 70.3!
Biggest Accomplishment in the sport
50 plus triathlons!
Profession
Operations/Finance Manager
How triathlon has impacted your life
Gave me great enjoyment and overall fitness. Only stalled when my girls started in their own sports pursuits. I had always planned to get back at some stage. That time is NOW!
Dream Goal
Complete and enjoy my first 70.3… whenever that may be!
Dream Race
Provided the first one goes well, would love to do both the Geelong 70.3 and also the Cairns 70.3.
Something interesting about you most people don’t know
As a 7 year old at Little Athletics I once unofficially broke the 100 metres world record. Of course it never got recognised as they didn’t have three stopwatches on me at the time! (as you would for a 7 year old)
Note: The photo was taken in my pain cave. I am looking forward to getting out of COVID restrictions and joining some group activities in the near future
