Meet the team

I am the Admin Auntie for CMC. I started running to get my husband back into running and found I loved it. And then I had my rubber arm twisted to take part in an Ironman 70.3 (mostly for the holiday in Vietnam that came with it) and loved that too. 

Now I get FOMO for everything swimbikerunsocial and try to have fun and sprinkle some joy where ever I go.

I have always enjoyed taking part in sporting events, there is just something about the excitement, the music while you are standing in the chute (and boy do I love a good events t-shirt) but I got "sucked" into Cape Multisport in 2022 while supporting my wife for her first IronMan event. The club members, the group training, the electric vibe at the event made me join the club and enter for my first triathlon and the rest really is history. Now whether it is a cycle, a packrun or even an open water sea swim, bring it on! I have met some awesome people along the way and the amount of fun and laughs makes it so worth it!

I am responsible for most of the SWIMBIKERUN fun you see on our social media pages! I am a triathlete by heart and absolutely love to see what everyone is up to on social media. Remember to tag CMC, so I can meet you online.

Running and I found each other late in life but I'm doing my best to make up for lost time! People get old because they stop running... they don't stop running because they are old. 

After joining New Balance in 2009, my enthusiasm for running and our club grew year on year.  It lead to me becoming the running captain of CMC in 2022, a responsibility that I both take seriously and enjoy thoroughly.  My aim is to support and motivate all CMC runners so that they can achieve their goals and keep running forever!

Cycling has been part of me for most of my life. I have participated in many forms of the sport and my 1st choice will always be the MTB. The outdoors is my sanctuary.

I also enjoy the Road, and the thrill of that thin, silent, tire rolling over the tar.
Ultra marathon races are my favourites. The battle of the Human Spirit, to overcome one’s challenges is what always inspires me to do more, not just on the bike but in real life as well.
I’m fond of running as well and really enjoy a good trail run.

I joined the club 3years ago to meet more fellow cycling enthusiasts. However this has now evolved into running friends as well 

I have been a member of New balance and then Cape Multisport club for a long time. I love the camaraderie and collective focus on identifying new challenges and then doing what needs to be done to achieve these goals.

My personal journey went from Mountain biking to offroad triathlons to on road triathlons. And then I realized that I don’t only have to swim to T1 and that there is a world of swimming without bike-running afterwards. I developed a love for long distance openwater swimming and I am very proud of the large number of our CMC swimmers who have done epic openwater swims. You might still see me out swim-bike-running but my passion is with the swimming.
