Felicity Abram

Hi. I’m Felicity Abram.

I was born in Brisbane, however spent my early years in the bush in Central Queensland on my family´s 20,000 acre property.

A move to Brisbane as I was growing up was to ensure that my twin brother Geoff and I were given every opportunity for a good education and to give us access to other facilities and activities not available in the bush. However I’m quite determined to return to the country one day. It’s where my heart is!

In 2005 I started on the ITU circuit, travelling the world doing what I enjoy most. I’ve had many ups and downs along the way, but have learned that’s just part of growing as an athlete.

If I’m not training I love listening to music, exploring new places, catching up with friends and partying when there’s a reason to celebrate. 😉

I love to train. I love to race. Every day I thank god for how lucky I am to be able to do what I do.
