Sport and Exercise has always been a part of my life and I’ve always been an advocate of following your passion. Growing up in Lower Hutt I was always involved in some sort of sport up until and including my time studying Physical Education at Otago University. Upon returning to Wellington I decided to challenge myself and move into individual endurance sports.

At present my résumé consists of:

• 4x Marathons (Wellington 2011 & 2014, Sydney 2012 and Gold Coast 2015)
• 7x Taupo Cycle Challenges (2010-present)
• 2x Half-Ironman Triathlons (Taupo 2011 and New Plymouth 2013)

Cycling is now my main focus – there are lots of goals I want to achieve, lots of races I want to try, and some I want to win! But in and amongst all the training and races I want to get out and see NZ and the world. In early I spent two weeks cycling up the West Coast of the South Island – luckily the weather was mostly good and we really enjoyed ourselves. I now have plans to cycle around the central North Island and the Coromandel region sometime in 2017 and also take a trip over to Japan to take in some sights while riding our way around for a few weeks.

If anyone reading this has any suggestions for cycle tours please come find me and let me know! But I’m just as happy to talk about non-cycling related topics too. If I’m not too busy feel free to come and have a chat about your goals or your training plans, be careful though, I might take you through a quick workout too!
