An athlete with 30 years experience in the sport still chasing the high of racing, the love of training, the challenge of balancing family, work and training and the ultimate love of feeling strong, fit and healthy. Starting her Triathlon days in the 1990’s Nicole has seen the sport change, and take shape over the years to where we are today and we can’t wait to continue the triathlon journey with her….

Nickname: Nic. Nice and simple!
Age / Age Group: Old Hen! ;-p
Lives: Malvern, Vic
Targeted Sport: Triathlon
Years in the Sport: 30 years (on and off) (told you I was an old hen…)
How did you get started: Monash University Tri Club. Like minded people who even made a Saturday night swim squad session fun!
(I do not know ANYONE who swims on a sat night – so there’s a first!)
Why I choose CPC: I was introduced by another CPC athlete Caroline Houston. 🙂
(would of mouth is fab – thanks Caroline!) 😉
What I ‘get’ from my sport: I love the challenge and diversity of 70.3 Triathlon racing. With more self-sufficient teenagers at home it’s been great to invest in consistent training and hopefully greater life longevity. I aspire to keep racing and training for a long as my aging body can keep up.
Ultimate Goal: Swimming, riding and running for as long as my body will allow – at at least until l get my pensioner card.
What I couldn’t live without: A family who are very understanding & flexible.
Biggest love: My boys (husband, 3 teenagers and dog)
Pet peeve!: Wasting time.
(ohhhh that’s a goodie! We’re with you on this one!)
Interesting fact about me: Country girl who grew up in Cobram.
