Jess MacDonald

Assistant Coach

Qualifications

• BTF Level 1 Coach

Reasons for Starting Coaching

• To help out my club and build a better understanding of triathlon.

Reasons for Starting Triathlon

• I have been a triathlete since I was 7 and have always enjoyed training for it and competing.

Most embarrassing / worst moment in a race

• Got out of the swim, put my trainers on, then was about to jump on the bike and realised my cycling shoes were attached to the bike!

Best moment in a race

• Competing in national level races all last season.
