Club Committee
I first joined Vision in November 2011, wanting to tick off one of the items on my "list of things to do" in finishing an Olympic Distance Triathlon. From completing Mooloolaba in March 11, I'm now competing in regular events and have my goals set towards the Age Group World Championships in New Zealand 2012 Triathlon has given me many things - fitness, the ability to set goals, the oomph to push myself, and to remember to always support those around you. More than anything it's taught me to believe in myself and that I am far stronger than i ever thought possible. I began training only really able to run, and my riding has come along in leaps and bounds. From barely swimming 50m without gasping for air, to doing a 300m warm up without thinking twice, the benefits you get from triathlon are just enormous! Vision is a group of people who are all working to their own individual goals - sprint, olympic, half ironman, ironman or just health and fitness. We do it however as a group, as a pack, always supporting and encouraging each other. We have the full range abilities at the club, from the amazing elites, age groupers or those (like myself) who just want to be a bit faster, stronger and fitter than what we were yesterday. I strongly believe that every athlete at the club is special, and brings their own unique knowledge and experience to the club. I won't lie, it's not always easy. Long sessions are long, the mornings can be cold, the rain is well... wet! But I promise you, come train with us, and as you cross the finish line on whatever event it is you're competing in, it will be worth it and you will be thinking about the next race you can enter! Please feel free to contact myself, or any members of the committee with questions or enquiries. After being found.... splashing around in a 25m pool by Coach Cath, she encouraged me to come along to some triathlon sessions (I think to make me feel better that I could run and ride so to ‘forget’ the swim!!!) but perserverance, dedication and pure hard work like Bronnie (Persident) has mentioned I am now swimming in olympic distances races and getting ready for Goodi (2km SWIM!!!).
Club Treasurer - Nat McKayTraining with Vision since March 2008. First Olympic distance – March 2009 (now to improve my time!) Vision Tri Club has now become the honeymoon destination for my husband and I. Completing my first Olympic triathlon in March 2009 has spurred me on to start riding my bum off. Coach Cath has made excellent gains with my swim technique…so she keeps telling me…now its onto the bike. My role within the club apart from being an athlete is now club treasurer. Any questions in relation to fees, memberships, club financials etc can be directed my way….I am an accountant in my spare time :)
