I come from a competitive Rugby Union background. During a 6 year stint in Hong Kong I completed numerous mountain races as well as the Hong Kong marathon. After watching Eco Challenge in the late 90's I finally got involved in AR in 2006. I have since completed 1 XPD, 2 Geoquests, 4 Hells Bells,the AROC 50hr Edge of Reality and 2 Keen Adventure Races as well as numerous Rogaine and shorter Adventure Races.
Raced under the following team names:
Sunshine Coasters, Tamell, Fear & Loathing, Two and Half Men, RUSH and SCAR
