Hey team,

its been a long long time hasn’t it, in the last 8 months I have had the opportunity to focus on what is important to me.... my health, as we say on the podcast, my health is my greatest wealth.

By focusing on what we preach on our podcast (Think Fit Pod) I have managed to drop the 10 kg’s that I was sitting on, which is by making healthy choices, being active but most importantly living a balanced life and not following some fad diet.

Not only have I managed to kick a few kg’s to the kerb, with it I have improved my fitness;

  • In January I had my half Ironman come back posting a 28.48 Swim, 2.15.51 bike and a 1.36.29 run resulting in a 4.23.11 overall time. I knew going into the race I didn’t have the run fitness which showed but overall I was pretty pumped as I was expecting a 4.30 overall time.
 
  • I have run multiple 5 km Park Run's going from 19.50 min to 17.25 min
​
  • And I have dropped my half marathon time from 1.35 to 1.22

But of all tha tI have achieved and experience, my highlight has been marrying my best friend.

It was an incredible day celebrating with our closest family and friends at Eagle Ridge Estate in Tauranga, the day went smoothly and we created more memories which will last a life time.

What is coming up next?

Next up I am heading away on my honey moon where I am going to enjoy traveling with Penny, exploring and focusing on my swimming and running before returning and continuing my build to my first race of chasing the Kona reality at IRONMAN Busselton on the 1st December 2019.

I have got to say, I am looking forward to being coached by professional triathlete Simon Cochrane under - www.athleticpeak.co.nz

That's all for now falks, until next time (Which I promise will not be long) stay classy.
