EPS-Triathlon

This is my first season doing triathlons and I'm trying to improve my fitness and well being. I am a paramedic so working shift work doesn't help with maintaining an active lifestyle but this year I want to change that and make my lifesytle more healthy and fun!

I have been doing triathlons since 2005 and joined EPS in 2008.

During this period of time I have completed six ironman races, with my best being 9 hours and 45 minutes at Melbourne.

I have run six marathons, including coming 6th in the Adelaide Marathon a couple of years ago.

I came 2nd in the 30-34 age group in 2011/2012 X-O Size series

I came 2nd in the 30-34 age group in the Australian Duathlon Championship race at Kew Bld in 2012.

I've been competing in triathlons for almost 20 years, and have been training with the EPS group the whole time.

I still love the sport and the general feeling of fitness and well-being it brings, as well as getting to meet, train with, and compete against, great people.

I've competed in all distances, finding success whilst living in Japan at the sprint distance, but have also finished 4th overall in the Gatorade Series in Victoria for my age group.  My best memory is of the Japan Strongman, held on the island of Miyakojima, a long course race of 3km/155km/42.2km where I finished 36th of about 1500 competitors (my profile picture).  One of the best things though was travelling and racing with my mates.  It's a great experience.

Mature-age triathlete with 10 years in the sport. Have been able to make, what I initially believed, unimaginable personal achievements. Very proud to have represented Australia in the 2005, 2008 & 2009  Age-group Olympic distance World Championships.

Aging pseudo athlete with high hopes and low expectations.
