when did you begin triathlon and why?

my mum was looking on the Triathlon Victoria website and saw a notice about the GIT (get into triathlon) program that ntc was running in 2000. They trained a group of about 40 to compete in the brooks competitions. Since then I have been hooked. Awsome program!
how many years in NTC? This coming season is my 5th woohoo
what is your sporting background? Running, swimming and cross country skiing.. and well cycling, netball, tennis, softball, alpine… etc etc
how many triathlons? umm… 4 seasons.. average of 10 per season? So maybe 40 – 50
greatest achievement in triathlon Completing in my first triathlon was an awesome feeling, followed closely by making the VSSSA team. Also doing the Olympic distance one was pretty awesome! OO actually after my first sprint distance race I won a scooter by shoving as many orange pieces into my mouth and singing mary had a little lamb, defiantly a proud moment in my life :P
greatest achievement outside of triathlon Most defiantly still being alive after a 21km Cross-country skiing race last year in the worst blizzard I’ve ever seen!
best result? Winning my first junior elite race… I just wont tell you how many people were in it… ;)
best and worst triathlon legs and why? Best… lately the run.. worst.. probably open water swimming.. too many weird things in the water!! But think I’m an average all rounder
most embarrassing moment in triathlon? At the qualifying race for vsssa in ballerat I fell over twice in transition. Once coming out of the swim and then coming back from the bike I slipped and dropped my bike too.. Both were luckily caught on camera too ? Oh well certainly caught the selectors eyes..
three people you would like to invite to dinner Orlando Bloom, Courtney Atkinson and umm Pete murray for some music!
