CV
Born into triathlon pedigree – her parents and siblings have also competed in triathlons – Moffatt raced in her first at age 13.
Given her medal history (a bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and two World Championships) this human movement/education student is likely to add another to her shelf.
Training hours “Anywhere between 25 to 30 hours per week, plus a couple of massages.”
Go-to food before training “Banana with honey on toast – yum!”
On beating failure “I always try to find a positive – no matter how bad it seems.”
Best stress-buster “Going for a swim at the beach, or training!”
