when I’m not training I’m
Eating, recovering or spending time with friends or family
I never go training without
If cycling-food and a phone
favourite place to train
Wanaka because it is home, beautiful and has good local company, Saint Moritz because of the endless running trails, altitude and scenery
hardest day at the office was
Always a day that you bonk but have to continue or make it home because you have no option it’s your job
favourite swim
ITU Mooloolaba World Cup, the only race that is actually held where there is usually some surf
favourite race
Alcatraz- something a little out of the ordinary
worst sporting experience
Nearly drowning in London WS 2010, 220m is not enough to the first buoy those girls aren’t swimming they are pulling, punching, grabbing!
the one tip I would give is
Make sure you are enjoying it
my catch phrase is
Variety is the spice of life
person I most admire
My family-best family ever!
