After competing with teams in triathlons for a couple of years, I completed my first solo triathlon in 1999. Having found that my fast-twitch fibres no longer existed, I decided that I was best suited to triathlons that gave me plenty of time to finish so I’ve done quite a few ½ Ironman races and 8 Ironman triathlons since then. Short and multi-day adventure races also caught my interest in the mid ‘90s. After being a board member and vice president of the Vikings Tri Club for several years I found myself on the TACT Board (still not sure how that happened), vice president and became president in a period of change within TACT, on the national scene and within Triathlon Australia – that change is still happening. I very much enjoy working with a great bunch of people on the TACT Board and in the TACT office. During that time I also developed a keen interest in the organisation and running of triathlons. After a period of learning how to set up and run a race, including jointly managing the Australian Duathlon Championships in 2007, I “flew solo” as a Race Director several years ago. Hopefully this season will be my last on the race organisation side of TACT so that I can compete in a full season of TACT races – unfortunately, the fast guys in my age group are still racing.
Following an 8% shooting accuracy rate in my first season of basketball and the realisation that fast-twitch fibres weren’t a thing for me, I was diplomatically guided by my parents towards endurance sports from a young age. I came over from Melbourne to Canberra in 2017, being fortunate enough to have been a recipient of the Tuckwell Scholarship to ANU and am currently in my third year of a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies and Bachelor of Medical Science which has been very rewarding. During this time, I’ve also been running an online high school tutoring business across Victoria, ACT and NSW. I started triathlon 2 years ago, and more recently joined JT Multisport in the lead up to my preparation for the World Championships this year. As altruistic as it might sound, I’ve chosen to be on this board for a purely selfish reason- the self satisfaction of making a difference for others, in an area of my life that I am super passionate about. I am very excited to start working with all the other talented members of the TACT board!
