I thought I would delve into the world of blogging and see where it leads. I'm passionate about sharing my story to inspire and motivate others on their own fitness journeys and life goals.
My story here starts in 2015, 2 weeks before attempting my first full IronMan at IronMan Melbourne on March 22nd. I aim to finish in under 10 hours, in the 18-24 Male category, a time that will see me competitive with the top 5 finishers. However I have a long history in sports, having begun swimming from a young age and reaching state and national level in the pool as an early teen. After a somewhat limited success in the pool I turned my attention to boxing, which I competed as an amateur boxer for 5 years. As a boxer I won several state titles and learnt a lot about training techniques and how to approach life with a positive mindset and use a holistic approach to achieving the best results you can. I owe a great deal to my mentor and boxing coach, Brian Butler, for helping me to grow into a young man with a firm grounding in the basics of health, fitness and life in general.
Now as I am moving into the elite ranks of age group triathletes I am hoping to use my experiences to motivate people and help them to achieve their own goals, be them sporting, academic, or just to become more productive in their day-to-day lives.
In addition to my sporting endeavours I have also studied at the University of Melbourne and have a degree in chemical engineering. Whilst this may seem unrelated to triathlons and motivational speaking, completing this challenging degree has helped me to develop highly technical skills in organisation, communication, data analysis, reporting writing and networking. I use these skills everyday in my training and finding new ways to bring my story to you, sharing a wealth of knowledge in a simple and easy to understand manner as well as working on great deals for the best products to suit you.
It doesn't matter how fast you are going, don't stop moving forward, you are lapping everyone on the couch!
More from me soon!
