  1. Red Dog AOTM, how do you feel about that?
    Very surprised, don’t think the announcement at track on Tuesday has sunk in yet however it is a great honour.
  2. When did you join, and what attracted you to the club?
    I initially joined with Kieran Lyons in 2022 however needed a brief interlude after doing my ACL. Deciding my career in social futsal was over I have been back with the squad for a bit over a year now.
  3. How much training do you do at the moment?
    Aiming to get in 3 rides, 4 runs and 2 swims which was easier when the sun was coming up early.
  4. What’s your favourite session and why?
    Saturday ride. It’s great to get out of the city and be able to chat with the other athletes between surges.
  5. Who’s your ideal training partner and why? Swim, Bike, Run
    Glenn always pushes me on the bike and swim. However, I recently claimed bragging rights at the track.
  6. Favourite motivational quote?
    The real workout starts when you want to stop.
  7. The one bit of advice I’d give to a newbie is?
    Get along to as many sessions as you can and you will surprise yourself with how fast you improve.
  8. What’s your next event?
    Tweed Enduro which is my first half. I can’t wait!
  9. What do you do outside of training?
    Between sessions I am either a Product Manager in financial services or taking my niece to the park which is arguably more exhausting than training.
  10. What’s your one guilty pleasure?
    Gelato, preferably something with nuts like pistachio or macadamia.
