"If you can dredam it with hard work and determination you can achieve it" Overview (A Little About Me)I joined the Army when I was 17 because I loved the fitness side of life. I have always had a passion for endurance events so I started competing in half Ironman events with in Australia. I�m currently training for a few half Ironman and then Ironman WA in Dec. I hope to qualify for Hawaii with in the next 12 months. InterestsTriathlons, Marathons, any thing fitness related. Favourites (Food, Bodyparts, People)Favourite food is a tough decision I would have to say chicken, choc chip biscutes and Anabolic Window choc. As for body part I'm a sucker for calfes. Favourite sports person is Lance Armstrong an on a more personel level my family and the crew from ASN. Motivations (What Motivates Me)Motivations: A comment Lance Armstrong made. The thing that makes winning so difficult, is that the mind and the body almost never work together copperatively. Mostly we are at odds with ourselves Training History (Years, Location, Trainer)I started on a scholarship with the Queensland Academy of Sport for soccer when I was 15. What a great experience I left there full bottled on what was required to become a professional athlete. I then joined the Army and started playing touch football for the Defence Force and in the off sessions I was in the gym trying to bulk up. I competed in a few body sculpting events and I really enjoyed them but it wasn�t until the Coomera Half Ironman events I realised Triathlons are for me. Training Schedule (Training Style and Tips)Resistance training 4 times a week concentrating on the upper body and core stability as my legs are going to fall off after riding some of he hills around the hinterland.
Cardio 3-4 runs a week all vary in time, distance and speed. One is a recovery run, ones is done on the track, one is off the bike holding race pace and the other is a long efficiency run trying to maintain the same speed and heart rate of the allocated time.
3 rides a week same again they vary in time, distance and difficulty. Saturday�s being my long ride up to 180km through hilly terrain.
3 squad swims a week. The sessions vary from intervals, fartlek and drills.
Nutrition (Examples of My Diet)Due to my high level of cardio I require a high carb diet but protein must be present with all meals. I eat a lot of white meat, brown rice, fruit and veg. My motto is every thing in moderation.
While on the bike I use Evolve Energize with BCAA added and also Endura Optimizer and gels. As soon as I finish my session I�m straight into Nutrabolics Anabolic Windows to maximise my recovery and growth. Competition History* Coomera Half Ironman 07 � 5th

Goals (Future Plans and Career Expectations)To compete for Australia in the world titles. Kona here I come Media Coverage (Calendars, Magazines and Newspapers)USA Triathlon Magazine Aug edition Best Advice (Fitness, Health and Training)Recovery & Nutrition� don�t fall into the trap of thinking the more I train the better I will become. Rest is just as important if you miss a session never play catch up just forget about it and move on. Remember to use good supplements before, during and after just talk to the guys at ASN and they will help you out. If you don�t fuel and rest the body it will fall apart with time.
