| Why triathlon? |
I did my first tri in the 80s and loved it, but didn't get to do another one until 2004. I have always loved running and swimming so triathlon is a natural extension form. |
| Upcoming goals |
I have competed at four World Champs and getting there each time has involved a lot of commitment and effort. I am just happy to take each event as it comes for the time being. |
| Stengths |
The swim for reasons unknown to me (I never swam as a kid) is my best leg, but I am getting sick of coming out in 4th place and counting off the bikes going past so am hoping to improve other aspects of my race. |
| Proudest moment in sport |
Captain of the Hutt Valley U19 representative netball team. |
| Personal bests |
I have had PBs in World Champs, which is the best place to have them. |
| What is the key to successful training? |
Singlemindedness. Being able to stick to the task in the face of myriad distractions, setbacks and life commitments is the key. |
| What motivates you the most? |
I just love being involved in such a fabulous sport where elite athletes rub shoulders with 70 year olds. I love standing at the start of a race and looking around and seeing all ages and standards taking part in the same event. There is nothing else like it. |
