| Why triathlon? |
I started doing tris in 2001 when I was introduced to a girl who raced pro Ironman around the world at the time. I was very inspired and wanted to do an Ironman too. A friend of mine told me he didn't think I had it in me and I thought well, I'll show you! |
| Upcoming goals |
2010 Australian and State Champs - Long & Short Course Tri. It would be awesome if I can simmulate last season's results. |

At the age of 9, my older sister showed some potential in the pool, and my parents literally, threw me in at the deep end to see what comes up. So of the three disciplines, swimming comes the most natural but it's the bike that I have the most passion for. I'll ride my bike every day, the whole day if I could! I love it. |
| Proudest moment in sport |
Being chosen to represent Australia at worlds this year and having the opportunity to wear the green and race with the Southern Cross on my sleeve. |
| Personal bests |
World Champ x 2. Does it get any better than that? |
| What is the key to successful training? |
Firstly, I belive it should always be fun. Then drink lots of water, do lots of stretching, proper recovery, and consistency. If you're prepared to make the investment every day, a good return is almost guaranteed.
|
| What motivates you the most? |
When people tell me something can't be done. |
| Your words of wisdom |
I'm a Swatch watch addict. I have about 18 Swatches and I love them. I can almost wear a different watch every day and some mornings, I'll pick out the watch I feel like wearing and then dress around that. |
