I’m not your usual super fit, fast, sleek looking tri coach. I’m a “back of the pack” athlete who struggles keeping weight under control. I aim to fit my training into my busy life as best as I can, not the other way round.
I have been competing in triathlons since 2005. I started with small women’s only triathlons & worked my way up the distances and have now completed 9 half Ironman (6-8hrs) & 3 full Ironman races (15-16 ½ hrs), as well as many other swim, bike, run events. I am not fast, but I aim to be the best I can be & achieve my goals regardless of how long it may take me.
I have experienced the highs & lows of this sport and built on the mental training required to get to that finish line – it can be bloody tough sometimes, but it is always worth it. I want to help you be the best YOU can be at any event you set your mind to.
I am a Triathlon NZ Level 1 accredited Coach and have been coaching athletes since 2008. I am on the committee of our local triathlon club & volunteer at events along with my husband & teenage boys. As a family we have completed some amazing races in amazing places & met some awesome people along the way. Competing in events is an inspiring way to live.
If you are a beginner wanting to get started, or a “back of the packer” wanting to step up the distances but don’t know if you can or where to start, then I can help. My aim is to teach you the most efficient way to train to achieve your goals. No smash fests or high tech gadgets & jargon; just the simple things done right.
So what are you waiting for? It’s all in the mind… your body will do anything you tell it to.
