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!

          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.

              I have been a triathlete for over 20 years, competing in all distances, including 9 Ironman Triathlons.

              I joined MTC in 2021 with my son Monty, who had a dream to complete an Ironman Triathlon. Monty has an intellectual disability, and therefore it was important to me that Monty train with professional and experienced coaches in a friendly and inclusive environment. With the support of MTC members and coaching partners, Monty achieved his dream in December 2024 and is now aiming to qualify for the World Championships in Kona.

                Malcolm Bish
                I have always enjoyed sport and exercise, playing cricket for many years.  I was encouraged to give triathlon a go from my personal trainer back in 1996.  Since then, I have been a keen participant in over 200 races from sprint distance up to Ironman triathlons.

                I have been an MTC member since the early 2000s being coached by MTC’s training partner Fluid Movements.  One of the best aspects is that the coaches are active participants too, and so they know exactly what you are going through.

                MTC welcomes new members all the time.  There is always someone at your level to train with, whether new to the sport or competing up to world events.
