The Story So Far:

Born in Lower Hutt, Zoe Anderson competed in her first triathlon when only six years old. Competition in the Kiwi Kids and Weetbix triathlons quickly followed and her love affair with sport started. Joining a swim squad, triathlon club and harrier club were natural progressions to this serious athlete. It wasn't long before Zoe started her winning streak, as early as 2004, in the Nae Nae Triathlon winning the Under 16 title as a twelve year old. Regional and National Age Group titles followed in Triathlon, Cycling and Multisports.

Selection to the Triathlon NZ Youth Academy last year (2006) was clear recognition of this exceptional talent. A NZ Cycling National Champion in the Road Race and Runner Up in the Time Trial, National Multisport Champion and numerous significant wins in cycling, triathlon, swimming

and running throughout 2006 reinforces the belief in Zoe's ability to achieve at the highest international level.

The Future - Project London (2012)

A long term approach has been adopted to assist Zoe achieve her goals and aspirations. An initial focus is London 2012 when Zoe

will only be 20 years old and still developing towards her peak as an endurance athlete.

A number of short term goals have been identified, including qualification to the elite junior women world championships in 2008.

Junior (Under 17) Women's goals are part of her development programme towards achieving elite women's targets. Last year, 2006, Zoe convincingly achieved the goal of winning the Under 15 National Road Race Championships and Runner up in the Time Trial in cycling supported by significant results in triathlon, swimming and running.

Coach/directeur sportif, Eddie Bright:

Zoe has clearly demonstrated a prodigious talent, excelling in a number of disciplines, swimming, cycling and running. Her professional attitude to training and competition is a key aspect of her potential to succeed at the very highest level.

I sincerely believe that Zoe has the potential to achieve at the very highest level as an international athlete. Her physiological profile, strength and determination and professional approach are clear examples of an elite athlete profile. This belief, supported by excellent results clearly indicates that this is well founded.
