From Cancer Diagnosis to Ironman Athlete

This is my story from Cancer Diagnosis to Ultra Marathoner and Ironman Athlete. I had been competing in amateur triathlon and running fun runs for about 7 years when I was hit with a diagnosis of am inoperable and incurable brain cancer. My life came to a screeching halt and in an instant my whole world changed. 


 Thanks for joining the journey!

My Sport Philosophy

"Happy, but never satisfied" and "always a little further" epitomise my sport philosophy as I continue to test, extend and challenge my mental and physical boundaries. I enjoy the discomfort of endurance events and spending time in the pain cave. 


"Have you ever pushed yourself to the limit? Well, how do you know you have one then?"

Pain is temporary, Strava lasts forever

My Support Team

The M5 Academies

The Leo Wanker Academy of Fitness

In late 2021 I joined the Elite Age Group Triathlon team of the M5 Academies as I started the journey to becoming an Ironman. Under expert tutelage of Triathlon Supercoach, Brad “Croc” Beven, expert team captaincy of Phil Stoneman and with the best product partners in the sport I’m excited for where this journey will take me.

The Leo Wanker Academy of Fitness

“Go you Wanker” is a term of endearment and this squad of runners and triathletes is about as supportive as you can get, and of course in Australia that means piss taking and sledging as much as positive encouragement.
