10000m either road or track
Performance highlights?
Winning my first NZ Cross country title in Taupo

The gold medal in Buffalo for the 10k was a big high.
Most enjoyable competition venue?
I enjoy most places and are always grateful for
the awesome officials.

Spending time with Nigel while he catches fish in the early morning
as the views over the bay are breathtaking.

Fresh snapper, chicken and chocolate desserts
Favourite movie or TV show?
Hangover
Elite athlete that you admire?
Zola Budd
Sporting goal for next season?
Continue to be competitive
Sample training session

Monday- Long run up to 2 hours (depending on what's coming up)
Tuesday- Easy 1 hour

The training changes if I have national events and I force myself to do
speed work for about 6 weeks prior.
