Bio
Analise Kibble is an exciting young Ironwoman emerging from Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Originally from Warriewood SLSC, Kibble moved to Newport SLSC in the U14s to improve her competitiveness as a surf sports athlete. She found her stride towards the end of the 2022 season, when she finished 4th in the U19s Ironwoman at the Aussies, before impressing at the 2023/24 Iron Series with her first podium finish. Kibble is currently in the final semester of a Bachelor of Medical Studies, majoring in Anatomy and Physiology.
Analise, which race format is your favourite?
Super Sprint – With short, sharp racing, back to back, your consistency is rewarded which I like. Also, often with the Super Sprint there is more rest in between the irons than with the Eliminator, and I am grateful for that!
What is your best training hack?
I think training with intention and direction. Doing the most sessions and putting the most effort in only gets you so far, you need to have some intention behind what you’re doing to really reap the benefits of your work. For me, I like to take a moment before each session to think about what my goals are for that day, but sometimes the goal is just to have fun!
What is the best piece of advice that you have ever been given?
Confidence is a function of memory. Every session, every race, every effort is just stacking evidence for the next time you need to trust yourself. And trusting yourself, the most important thing when racing.
Do you have a secret talent?
Not sure if this counts, but I’m a pretty big clubbies nerd and have an alright memory when it comes to races I’ve watched back.
