The Committee

EXECUTIVE

Jarrod McPherson
President
I did my first Triathlon in 1988 and have been involved in Triathlons as an athlete, volunteer,
committee member, technical official or spectator ever since.

I joined MTC in 2021 after moving from southern bayside to inner city Melbourne as I knew it would be a great way to meet like-minded people. What struck me most was the number of high performing athletes and the lack of egos. You can be training with a World, National or State champion, but everyone is treated exactly the same by the coaches and club members. Further, every success, no matter how large or small, is celebrated by all. It is a truly inclusive club.

    Lyndsey Foster
    Vice President
    I joined MTC when I moved to Melbourne in 2011, I didn’t know anybody when I moved here and joining the club enabled me to meet so many great people. Since then triathlon has well and truly become a way of life, I compete in all distances, up to Ironman. One of the many things I love about MTC is the inclusive nature and friendly environment.
      Jessica Hood
      Secretary
      I started my triathlon journey in 2016 and have been a member of Melbourne Triathlon Club since 2021.

      I have found MTC to be an inclusive and supportive club, with members ranging from beginners to seasoned professionals, all of whom are willing to have a chat and give advice.

      I love the social aspect, and let’s be honest – the post session brunch is the best part of training!

        Lucie Litvack
        Treasurer
        I joined MTC when I first moved to Australia to meet new people and explore Melbourne.

        Before moving, I trained by myself but I find training with others much more enjoyable and have gained lots of knowledge from other more experienced athletes.

        I have had the opportunity to race with MTC around Australia and completed my first Ironman in Cairns in 2024.

        I love the social side of the club and it makes getting up and out so much easier when I know I get to enjoy it with other members.

          GENERAL COMMITTEE

          Andrew McOrist
          I commenced my triathlon journey in 2018, with no training or knowledge. In 2019 along with my far better half Sally, Joined the club with the beginner’s program.

          I have never felt so welcomed in a sporting environment as I have at MTC. I have previously played football & cricket (in much younger days) & I couldn’t believe the variety of people / occupations/ countries of origin, age variations that made up this great club. Sean & Lyndsey are not only great people, but exceptional coaches.

          In the words of Molly Meldrum, do yourself a favour & give it a go.

            Sally McOrist
            I joined the Melbourne Triathlon Club following the beginners course early 2019. I’d been swimming with Fluid for a few months to help rehab a back injury and I wanted to continue to improve my fitness. My hubby and I moved to Melbourne in 2018 and also wanted to meet new people who enjoy training and coffee!  I’ve completed two sprint triathlons so far, overcome a serious fear of open water swimming and found the increase in confidence through training totally addictive. The MTC and Fluid group are friendly, inspirational and very supportive of us as first time triathletes.
