About Me: As a hockey player, rugby player and rugby referee, running has always been a part of my training, but I never took running seriously until I saw a nature documentary about persistence hunting where humans used to out run animals over dozens of kilometres, and I tore my ACL playing hurling in 2013. After that, I decided to start doing triathlons (because of course there's no better recovery for torn ACLs than a half ironman). Once I got married in 2015, I felt that I didn't have enough time for triathlons so I cut back to just running. I still play and referee hockey, play and referee rugby, and in 2017 completed my first 50k ultra. This year I hope to get rid of my PF and complete even more 50ks
Sports: Rugby, Hockey
Athletic Goals: Complete two 50ks this year
My most catastrophic racing experience was: Melting (almost literally) down during the 2016 Perth Kilt Run
