ABOUT ME


My name is Jake Montgomery, I am a 23 year old Professional Triathlete from Tugun, Queensland Australia. I have been competing in triathlon for 9 years, prior to this I played soccer for 8 years and am also a very keen surfer. I have completed one year of University at Wollongong in 2012 but have differed to focus on my career as a successful triathlete. I have, in the past, been fortunate enough to train with the Australian ITU squad from which I gained a lot of experience. I traveled through Europe for over 3 months with the Australian squad in 2013 in which I raced in Sprint/Olympic distance Continental Cups and for a French Grand Prix Team.

I have been coaching myself since I started long course and have found it to be working really well for me, I do take advantage of training with friends when I am given the chance but each session is up to me. This has been going well, as I am able to balance training with occasional work

A huge decision very early in 2015, was that I would make the switch from ITU to have a crack at Long Course/70.3 racing. I have always thought I would be better suited to the longer distance, being strong in each discipline which is crucial in non-drafting racing, particularly my swim and bike. I had a very successful year racing ITU in Europe but was very keen to take this new road to long course racing.
