1.Red Dog AOTM, how do you feel about that?

2020 for the swimming training only; Nea encouraged me.     

3. How much training do you do at the moment?

TOO MUCH!

4. What’s your favourite session and why?

Love them all, but my favourite is Saturday morning ride. My riding has improved out of sight "chasing" the group. Everyone has encouraged me and supported me every single ride. Heaps of tips and lots of laughs! l

5. Who’s your ideal training partner and why?

Hugh Jackman because why not! Kevin will have to do!  #PoorKev

ON YOUR RIGHT!

7. The one bit of advice I’d give to a newbie is…

If you see Trent, STOP TALKING.  Just from what I have observed.  I can't relate to this. 

8. What’s your next event?

Ironman Cairns.  Then some halves, and some fun short races.


9. What do you do outside of training?

Singing and Tap Dancing.


10. What’s your one guilty pleasure?

Annoying Kevin, and I don't feel guilty at all. #PoorKev
