How long have you been competing in Triathlons: I competed in triathlons from 1992 – 2002. During this time I competed in two Ironman competitions.I stopped while training for my third Ironman. Got in from a long ride, put the bike in the garage and it stayed there.
Best race: I came 3rd at Merimbula one year. There wasn't a strong field haha.

Why Triathlon: I just fell into it. I did marathons for a number of years, not real well, and not real fast. After I did the 2013 New York Marathon I thought I would retire from endurance events. My cousin mentioned that an Ironman triathlon is something that should go on the bucket list; started training mid 2014 for my first Ironman at Port Macquarie in 2015. Only planned on doing one, but the event and the support from people has kept me going.
Favourite race: IMNZ. A great location and a great race. The whole town of Taupo gets behind the event, it is a truly international race. The only thing that could possibly spoil it would be the weather, hopefully if I do it again the weather gods will be with me.
Best race: Australian Alpine Ascent 2017. This race is hard as hell, harder than a triathlon should be. After missing Cut-off Two by a couple of minutes in 2016, I worked hard to go full course the next year.
Strongest discipline: Swimming. Probably the only discipline where I am in the top half of my age group, it is early in the race, and you don't get too hot doing it.
Weakest discipline: Running. Too big and too heavy, and too old. Not a natural runner, and in an Ironman event after being near maximum effort for coming up to 8 hours, it's not the ideal time to do a marathon run.
Motivation to train when finding it hard: Triathletes are out there doing things that normal people don't do. I don't do normal!!
