Meet the Committee

2024 - 2025 Bayside Triathlon Club Committee Members

Meet this year's fabulous Bayside Triathlon Club (BTC) committee members below. Thanks to these
individuals who give their time voluntarily to ensure that our club continues to function and thrive.
Thanks also to all previous committee members who put in the hard yards to get this club to where
it is today!

Natalie Livings

Committee Role: PRESIDENT
Email: president@baysidetriclub.com
Nat’s race of choice is Ironman 70.3, as she reckons she’s getting older and slower – but the
endurance is still there! She has a soft spot for any event that doubles as a holiday – Marbella, Nice
Taupō and Noosa (to name just a few). Contact Nat about anything related to the club or Triathlon
Victoria.

Yestay Kurmanov

Committee Role: Treasurer
Email: treasurer@baysidetriclub.com
As Treasurer, Yestay keeps the club’s cash flow in shape so we can focus on our training. When he’s

tournaments.

MATT WIELGOSZ

Committee Role: Secretary
Email: secretary@baysidetriclub.com

the committee on track and generally boss people about, in between Ironman (Matt) and Ironman
70.3 (Nat) training.

2026.
