what is your sporting background? Football & Competitive Waterskiing
how many triathlons? 6
greatest achievement in triathlon Finishing my first triathlon & then the other 5 as well
greatest achievement outside of triathlon I have 2 – getting married to Belinda & the birth of William – FANTASTIC!!
best result? Finishing
best and worst triathlon legs and why?  Best is bike (when I’m fit) & worst is swimming closely followed by running
most embarrassing moment in triathlon? Luckily haven’t had one yet
three people you would like to invite to dinner My wife Belinda, and my friends from Adelaide as we never get to catch up as much as we would like. (I know that takes me over 3 people but what can you do!)
favourite music Bit of everything really – don’t mind a bit of dance music though.
favourite film Happy Gilmore is a classic especially as a mate of mind has similar outbursts when we play golf.
favourite t.v. show Alias
favourite triathlon distance Have only done challenger/Brooks at the moment but am aiming on moving up to sprint distances this year
favourite race They all seem the same at that ungodly hour of the morning
favourite food Belinda’s homemade chicken parma’s – absolutely outstanding! (I also am quite partial to the odd slice of pizza but don’t tell Belinda!!)
favourite drink Diet Coke
triathlon goals Move up to the sprint distance & don’t go back to the challenger races
