Our Committee
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
The Whistler Triathlon Club is run by a dedicated team of volunteers, who all have a passion for triathlon. The committee meets regularly and input from our members is always encouraged.
President
Nina Harmon
Originally from San Francisco, Nina Harmon has been based in Whistler since 2011 and has been a triathlon fan just as long.
Most days she’s somewhere in the Sea to Sky on trails or in the water, often turning a workout into a backcountry adventure.
In 2025 she won the BC X-Tri Championship overall for her age group in off-road triathlon. She’s always happy to welcome more people into the wonderful chaos of multisport.
Vice President
Marla Zucht
After having completed 20 Ironman races and seven World Championships, triathlon
continues to be a lifelong passion for Marla.
A large part of her motivation and enjoyment comes from the group training and camaraderie surrounding the sport in
Whistler.
When not racing triathlons, Marla is keen to be involved in all different types of
outdoor recreation from ski touring to ultra trail racing and from ‘Everesting’ to gravel
adventures. Anytime in motion, she is in her happy place.
Memberships
laura douglas
Laura is brand new to triathlon, and having joined our club, has trained with a brilliant fervor and attitude. She completed her first half ironman in Victoria in 2023, and with outstanding commitment she continued to train throughout the summer with her eyes on Ironman Canada. While cancelled due to bad weather, she completed the Ironman distance race in Whistler, rallying over 30 people to swim, bike and run with her in August. She is an asset to the town of Whistler!
Treasurer
David Low
David joined our club in 2021 and is enjoying the lake swims and mountain climbs that Whistler offers. From his first sprint race in London, UK, he has raced over 30 Olympic and 70.3s in Beijing, Shanghai, Chicago, San Francisco and Malaysia. He recently completed his first full Ironman in Penticton, fulfilling a dream ten years in the making. A proud middle of the pack finisher, David loves carrying his kids across finish lines, spreading the love of sport and hard work to the little ones.

Caroline Morris
Caroline came to Whistler in 2000 and instantly fell in love with mountain life. Born in Sydney, Australia, she grew up competing in high-performance sport, racing as a swimmer at the national level before going on to compete at World Championships in kayaking.
In her 20s, she transitioned into endurance sport, completing Ironman and other long-distance events.
Today, Caroline is a psychotherapist in Whistler specializing in sport psychology, personal development, and relationship enhancement.
Member at Large
Dusty Andrews
Growing up in New Zealand, Dusty built a competitive edge through Surf Life Saving, competing at a national level across surf swims, paddleboarding, surf ski and inflatable rescue boat racing.
A natural in the water, swimming has always been at her core. Now a hooked on off-road racing—triathlons, trail running and a bit of downhill mountain biking—she loves the mix of challenge and the welcoming, down-to-earth community that comes with it.
As Director at Large for the Whistler Tri Club, Dusty is passionate about helping more people give it a go—showing that triathlon can be fun, inclusive and a little bit addictive.
Member at Large
Tom
Coming from a cross‑country skiing and swimming background, Tom was happily minding his own lane until the Whistler Tri Club “adopted” him for their own. He went on to snag a third place and then a first in his age group at the Squamish Triathlon, discovering that triathlon pain somehow hurts in a good way.
These days Tom’s all about Tri Club group swims, spin sessions and the post‑workout social scene, where stories get longer as the evening goes on. He swears he’s “retired” from chasing podiums, but there’s a good chance he’ll line up again one day for another age‑category win.
Our Mission and Values
Values
inclusivity
One of the best aspects of triathlon training is making new friends along the way. By offering training sessions to suit everyones goals, and running social events throughout the year we make it easy for you to connect with fellow triathletes. If you're nervous about starting out, we promise you are in good hands!
Volunteerism
Races do not happen without volunteers! When we are not out there swimming, biking and running we aim to return the favor by helping out at events. Outside of race season, our board members stay busy planning training sessions and events to ensure our members have everything they need to succeed.
Self Improvement
Whether your goal is to make it to the World Championships, or to summon the courage to try your first open-water swim session, we are here to support you along the way. We want our athletes to have fun and build self-confidence while having access to the highest quality of training.
