Greatest sporting achievement:

8 x Kellogg’s Nutri-grain Ironman Champion

Favourite Endura product and why:

Endura Optimizer in the Chocolate flavour. I find it easy to digest and it gives me everything I need after training.

How did you get into your chosen sport?

I started nippers when I was 11.

How important is diet and sports nutrition supplements to your performance?

I find it very important because it stops me from getting run down.

What do you normally eat and drink on a typical training day?

I have the Endura Rehydration formula during training in the morning followed by the Endura Optimizer. I again have the Endura Rehydration formula before my afternoon session and then Optimizer with Glutamine after training. I don’t have any special diet that I stick to.

Where will we find you when you are not training or competing?

Besides on the couch watching tv, I enjoy playing golf and surfing in my spare time.

What is your best training tip?

Improvement in racing will come from consistently working hard at training.

Who inspires you and why?

Kelly Slater, because he has been at the top of his sport for so long.
