Project Nansen - Taking New Zealand to the World Championships

After 2 years in triathlon, I have gained qualification to the 2015 ITU Long Distance World Championships in Sweden and the 2015 Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Austria, with the first World Champs at the end of June. My training base has been cemented by an Ironman New Zealand 2015 time 100 minutes faster than the previous years. Training is now focusing towards the World Championships to ensure maximum performance.

Come along this journey with me to these events as I bound from stepping stone to stepping stone and show the world my potential at the final race in the Ironman 70.3 World Championships.

Training the mind and body, allowing peak performance at the IM 70.3 World Championship, I will use the following events as stepping stones and attend triathlon training camps until I have fueled the spark and unleash my potential in August.
