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

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.
TLDR - To date (May 2022) my longest (128K) and most difficult Ultra Marathon in Central Australia. Gruelling course with no forgiveness. But I made it in 23h 22m and in 6th place. Amazing what the body and mind can do!
TLDR - we travelled to Greece and Italy in May - as soon as Australian borders allowed us. This was our first post-COVID adventure and we had a blast!
