His ITU world long course championship title in 2009 set the stage for him to become one of worlds all-time greatest endurance athletes. Since then he has had an incredible resume of performances at the Ironman World Championships with a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th place finish. He races with guts and combines that with smarts. Never afraid to go off the front but always calculating.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better man to spend an entire day with. Train all day and then share a few bottles of his amazing wine collection and sit back and listen to some classic John Denver on his vinyl record player. It doesn’t get much better!
