My Journey

My journey in triathlon isn't about secrets or shortcuts; it's about embracing fundamental principles, structured training, and scientific precision. Each step I've taken has been guided by a commitment to excellence, devoid of any magic tricks but enriched with determination and a unique approach.

Early Years: From Water Polo to Triathlon

My journey began in late 2018, following years of competitive water polo and surf life-saving during my schooling. Familiar with swimming and maintaining fitness through running, I transitioned from CrossFit to triathlon, drawing on the determination forged in the crucible of tough training sessions.

Racing Debut: Trials and Triumphs

In 2018, I ventured into my first 70.3 in Taupo, New Zealand, underprepared but undeterred. With guidance from my coach, Professor Grant Schofield, I crossed the finish line, igniting a passion for triathlon. From there, I tackled my first Ironman in 2019, refining my training and nutrition strategies, laying the groundwork for future success.

Evolution and Adaptation

Over the years, I've fine-tuned my training efficiency and nutritional approach, focusing on a low-carb strategy to optimise energy utilisation. The results spoke volumes, with successive Ironman races showcasing significant improvements in performance and efficiency.

Championship Success and International Endeavors

Fast forward to 2022, where I embarked on my first World Championship Ironman race. With meticulous attention to detail, I focused on perfecting every aspect of my preparation, ensuring that every 1% improvement was maximized. The experience was preceded by a remarkable achievement in 2021, where I clinched victory in the overall Age Group race, earning the esteemed title of 2021 World Champion among a field brimming with exceptional athletes.

This triumph not only marked a crowning moment in my career but also served as a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence. Breaking numerous personal bests, both in training and on race day, reinforced the effectiveness of my approach and fueled my determination to reach even greater heights.

Despite facing challenges, including a collision during the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, I remained undeterred, driven by the desire to push my limits and redefine what's possible in the world of triathlon.

Looking Ahead: 2023 Recap and Beyond

In 2023, I continued to push boundaries, refine my approach, and seek new challenges. Recap coming soon.

2024: A New Chapter Begins

As I embark on the 2024 racing season, I'm filled with anticipation and determination. With the unwavering support of my mentor, coach, sponsors, friends, and family, I'm poised to chase new goals, conquer new courses, and continue writing the next chapter of my triathlon journey.
