Alice McClure born June 23, 1974, currently lives in Bondi, Sydney but grew up in outback NSW on a Sheep and Cattle station with 4 sisters. She started triathlon because she was getting bored with the usual gym workouts and decided to give a little biathlon a try. After that she surged into triathlon and began taking on more and more distance. She has now done 8 full Ironmans, including 3 Kona World Championships. Alice says she’s, “not sure what happened, but I just kept wanting to get faster and faster and I kept qualifying for Kona, so I couldn’t say no.” How’s that for inspiration, ladies?
Alice has an awesome boyfriend who just did his first Ironman in Melbourne and totally smashed it, and 2 younger sisters who also raced and did amazing.
Her most amazing triathlon moments? Qualifying for Kona 3 times, of course. She was also 1st female in Desaru long course in Malaysia 2007, 3rd place at Ironman Port Macquarie (2006 & 2007), 2nd place at Busselton Ironman 2009, 19th in my age group at Hawaii 2010. Awesome, Alice!!
Why she loves SOAS?
“I love SOAS because it's super comfortable, very flattering and I get lots of comments :) Everyone loves a bit of attention....haha...”
