    I’ve arrived in Taupō and the vibe is awesome!! Weather is looking beautiful and sunny but not too warm. Water looking clear for the swim.

    Thankyou all for your donations and for your support. If you’d like to follow me during the race, you can download the Ironman app and use my bib number 2539 to see how I go.

  • 6 weeks out from Taupō 70.3

    Time has been flying by - I'm only 6 weeks out from a huge event. I have been so much training over the Christmas period, i'm feeling really well prepared. I recently "checked in" on where my fitness was by competing in the St Kilda 2XU Sprint triathlon a week or so ago. Not quite the distances of the 70.3 but still a test of speed across 750m swim, 27km bike and 5k run. Hit a Personal Best on the Swim (18mins) and the Cycle (52mins) which I was pleased about! the run, albeit a struggle towards the end was still a respectable sub-25 mins.

    Now I'm settled back in Melbourne, I'm doubling down on the training as I enter my last block of intensity before settling in to race mode. Thank you for everyone's support!

  • A big thankyou!

      20 December 2025

    In no time at all, smashed through $500 mark - Thankyou to everyone for your generosity. There is still a few months to go so I’ve doubled my target to see if we can go even further 💪

    Training is going really well! Investing in a canyon bike has been a game changer to explore the roads around Canterbury. Some big hills and many kms have been completed so far with a big increase planned for the Christmas break.

    There is a lot more work needed in the pool. I’ve never been the best swimmer but dehydration has been preventing me investing in long sessions.

    Flights to Taupō are locked in and a car has been hired. Countdown to March is on 🏊‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏃‍♂️

  • Welcome!

      5 October 2025

    Thank you for stopping by my page. I'm thrilled to be in training for Ironman New Zealand 70.3 for 2026. I took the opportunity to raise some money for a great local charity as i'm currently travelling with my work at Kraken Tech.

    Ahead is 6 months of hard training (and building some strength into my broken knees). Whilst this is a passion project, my family lost my Nan a few years back to Dementia/Alzheimers Disease. Ever since, organisations that research or support families impacted have stayed close to my heart. I'm excited to have the opportunity to take on a big athletic goal and do something good along the way.

    Stay and follow my journey and if you fancy donating a couple of dingo dollars, that's great too.
