I’m a passionate health and physical education teacher from Perth with a background in high-level soccer. I now channel my love for fitness into new challenges like Every Woman Triathlon. My goals this year are to improve on my times from last year’s event and encourage others to embrace the joy of movement, love their bodies, and have fun along the way. When not training or teaching, I’m likely enjoying coffee, spending time with my dogs, or cheering others on in their fitness journeys.

My name is Ella and I joined the triathlon band wagon in 2024! My first ever tri event was the Every Woman Tri so I’m super excited to be on board as an ambassador for it in 2025 and hopefully grow the women’s triathlon community! If you ever need a friend on course or in training, come find me, I’m always down to make friends along any part of the journey!! 

I’m Lili , I’m a lover of all sports and have way too many hobbies. I’m very excited to be an ambassador for Every Woman Triathlon in 2025. I started my triathlon journey in 2021 to keep my fitness up in the hockey off-season. Once I did my first triathlon, which was Every Woman, I was completely hooked. I love this event particularly because of the inspiring and encouraging women on the course who create an amazing vibe. This year I’m hoping the third time’s a charm to successfully get my race time under 1 hour 30 minutes. 

Driven by curiosity, Jo Saunders is a colourful midlife adventurer, creative thinker and advocate for stepping out of the comfort zone, one triathlon at a time. Jo believes we are never too old to start something new, connection starts with self and we all have a body made for bathers. Her first triathlon was Every Woman Triathlon at the age of 47, with limited running, cycling and swimming experience as an adult, she has done 8 and counting!

Inspired by swim training, Jo started a 12 month journey to try every public pool in WA. Follow the journey at PerthPoolQuest.com.au

I discovered triathlon seven years ago, later in life, and it sparked a passion for competition and pushing my mental and physical limits. With a lifelong interest in fitness and nutrition, I had tried many sports, but after completing my first triathlon, I was hooked. Starting with short local sprint events, I was drawn in by the welcoming community and the thrill of the sport. Every moment fueled my passion and drive to compete.

In many ways, being a triathlete isn’t so different from being a mum of boys—both can be challenging, unpredictable, and require quick problem-solving and resilience. Both roles inspire awe for what the human body and mind can achieve, and both are deeply rewarding. It’s no surprise so many mums excel as triathletes!
