When you’re not training, someone else is |
|
What’s your favourite thing about competing? |
Talking to mates before, after the race and talking to them in the marshalling tent, especially the mates that are from clubs further away that you only see at carnivals. |
|
Who is your role model and why? |
Wes Gould, because I know him very well and he came from the same club as me and he went all the way through surf club to make it into the Nutri-Grain series, that’s inspiring because Mullaloo is not a very famous club. |
|
What inspires you to be your best? |
Knowing that me being fit and healthy at my best and me trying my hardest is better than not being all that, better for the future and for the present. |
|
Walk us through your routine of getting ‘in the zone’ before a major event / race |
Early night because wake up early morning, drinks lots of water and having a bit to eat, mainly some fruit and a piece of toast, I always pack my bag the night before because it’s hard to remember what to take early in the morning, moderate warmup not too hard, sit-down drink water and relax till the race. |
|
To date, what’s your career highlight? |
U12 Cameron Relay, because we were on the starting line just about to start, and we were still waiting on our two runners then they came in on a jet ski from out the back out of nowhere and they ran up the beach ready and we started and that race we ended up winning at states. |
|
Going into this season, what’s your number one goal? |
To make the Western Suns as a first year U17 against the older kids. |
|
It’s the night before a big competition... what’s your must-have meal?
|
Penne past with chicken is my favourite pasta so I pretty much always have that. |
|
What’s your favourite song to listen to before competing or during training?
|
Salvadore by Jamie T |
|
What makes Engine products different from other gear out on the market?
|
There’s a very wide range of what you can wear, if it’s a cold day there’s cold engine gear to wear and the same with a hot day, there comfortable and flexible on the arms and legs especially. |
|
What’s your crucial Engine product(s) and why? |
Club Cut surf, because they are so flexible, comfortable, easy to run in and they are also very quick dry which I find very handy. I find them the best for Ironman because easy to run in and comfortable to swim in. |
