I am a son (to Mum &
Dad), a brother (to 2 brothers & 1 sister), a friend, a humanitarian, a
runner, a coach, a worker, a house holder, a traveler...and a few things more...
I grew up on farms in Western Victoria, played football, played tennis, went to school, ran cross country, did farm work, built cubby huts, rode motorbikes, and had a great time. I did year 12 HSC in 1986 and completed a Computer Science degree in 1989. Then my working life began...
I started doing triathlons after running and playing tennis (and football) for school. I did my first triathlon while still at school, age 15 in January 1985 at Port Fairy....and it's all continued on since then...
Sports of Sorts...
What are our limits?? What can
our bodies do?? How far / fast / hard can we go?? How much pain can we put
up with?? What's the biggest challenge possible?? Just tempt me...
So you get the idea I like pushing myself around a bit...hard work, but the
buzz you get and the experiences are worth it. And who wants to go to heaven
with energy left in the tank? I'll splutter up to the pearly gates with
barely enough life and energy to knock on the door!!!
