About me and this site
I have a lot of hobbies and this is a new one: blogging things I’m interested in, trying to be more creative and sharing my many learnings with my friends, family and anyone else willing to read. The main areas I’m planning on covering are:
1. My Life: Track and gain clarity into my own way of life, and;
2. Life Advice: Share my life philosophy with you with the aim to inspire

TLDR - I rode from Sydney to Tamworth ~500K for a mate's wedding (CB Atkinson). It took 3 days and was much harder than expected!
Running at the biggest triathlon in the world for a good cause with HeartKids
I had my first DNF in an ultra marathon at BTU110 due to knee issues. I have to embrace my inner shark and learn from this - Sharks only move forwards.
