So, 2019 was not kicked off in the fashion that I would have liked or would have anticipated. Ironman New Zealand was this past weekend and everything through the build up had gone perfectly. I felt like I was in the shape of my life. Starting my taper just over 10 days out, I was […]
Ironman 70.3 Bahrain
So, I didn’t get to finish my 13-day comeback assault in the fashion I would have liked. This past weekend was the Ironman 70.3 Bahrain and after managing to surprise everyone including myself the past 2 weeks with victories at Western Sydney 70.3 and Ironman Western Australia part of me was hoping for a clean […]
Ironman Western Australia – 1st place
I can’t think of a sweeter way to mark my comeback. Ironman Western Australia was always going to be a little hit and miss, but I am so happy I managed to hang tough and dig deep to come away with the Victory! There were big question marks over a bunch of things which meant […]
Ironman Western Sydney – first Place
What a way to kick off my comeback! Ironman 70.3 Western Sydney was this weekend in Penrith and I cannot be happier with how it all unfolded. It has been a tough 5 months and I have never taken my eyes off my comeback. A lot of work, patience and emotional resilience went into my […]
Ironman Asia-Pacific Championships – Third place
I have to be pleased with another podium performance at the IRONMAN Asia-Pacific Champs in Cairns. Of course, I would have liked to have been on top of the podium, but firstly credit to Braden who was phenomenal today. It was a pretty good day for the Kiwis and I am so proud of Teresa […]

Ironman 70.3 Bariloche
That was tough! Ironman 70.3 Bariloche in Argentina brought on the hardest of conditions with the start being in 7-degree air temperature and course being relentless throughout the bike and run. I was very happy to run into the town square in 1st place and absorb all the crowds’ energy, absolutely amazing! It has been […]
Ironman New Zealand – First – 7:59:57
Ironman New Zealand – What a day. My 10th time toeing the start line down here in Taupo and I was very excited for the race. I had clear objectives of what I wanted to achieve out there, but the main excitement came from my brother Dino tackling his first Ironman. All the pre race […]
Ironman Western Australia – First Place
Around the world in 25 days! Last stop was Ironman Western Australia, in Busselton this past weekend where I would be fighting to defend my title from last year. After the long trip from Bahrian to Perth and with the body feeling pretty battered from the weekend before race, I was stoked to have my […]
Ironman 70.3 Bahrain – Second Place

Recovery after the Island House sprint triathlon last weekend went well and while I didn’t feel the travel knocked me around too […]
