Dinner for 4, who’s coming:

Lance (only if he tells the truth), Crowie (to pick his brain for some tips), Rob Harvey (best footballer of all time), Tim Ballintine (so I can use his Normatic recovery legs and hopefully get a gig on his blog again)

Favourite Quote:

“In the end we only regret the chances we didn’t take.”

You’re the CEO of the World Triathlon Corporation, what is your first order of business?

Keeping the field at the Ironman World Championships manageable and going back to a mass start with everyone including the pro’s.

Next 12 Months looks like:

Geelong Half Ironman (Feb, 2015)

The rest is undecided at this stage.
