Cate began her triathlon journey in 2013  as a way to make friends and stay fit. In 2017, she completed her first Standard distance race and fell in love with the sport. She has since completed numerous Standard’s, 7 Half Ironman and two Ironman distance races with a few podiums along the way. With running being her favourite discipline, she has also completed many half marathons, marathons and trail races. 

Now living in the ACT, Cate enjoys training along the hills and highways, in the local pools and occasionally braves the waters of Lake Burley Griffin. When she is not training or working as a Veterinarian, Cate spends her time coaching the T3C squad (swim, bike and run sessions) and provides programs to a  number of foundation athletes. Having spent years training with these athletes before taking on her coaching role, Cate is very familiar with differences in athletes training styles and preference, making her ability to meet your needs even greater

Since becoming accredited as a triathlon coach, Cate has brought one athlete from triathlon beginner to Sprint distance World Championships and another to his first 70.3 distance race. These athletes have reached many new personal bests along the way and have helped her develop the dream of creating her own triathlon coaching business. Cate’s love for coaching stems from the satisfaction she gains in her athletes accomplishments. Their achievements bring her great joy and the desire to create fun, new ways to help them reach their goals.
