I am an Ironman!!
9 March 2026
An amazing day, finished strong with a smile and a great support team. 14hour 47min. Thank you to everyone!!
The Taupo weather turned it on, no wind and the perfect temperature. Duncan and I swam together which was really special. We started near the back to not get caught up in the chaos. The plan worked out perfectly and it was an enjoyable swim. The bike was amazing, a beautiful course through typical NZ scenes. I ate and drunk loads on the bike, to fuel up for the run. Was very happy with my bike time. I jumped off and my hips were in agony. But after transition they relaxed and I started the run. It went better than expected. My legs felt great and I was fueled up. The sunset was spectacular then the crowd and music got me going the first few hours of the night. Everyone up supporting me were AMAZING! So much cheering on, signs, and yellow tshirts. It made it really special seeing you all. Thank you. I had a strategy but no expectations going into the day. It went better than I could have imagined, it was so magical.
My givealittle page will remain open until the end of April.
