awesome all right well let's get to know you a little bit better so can you tell us how did you first get into triathlon

I've always done like a little bit of swimming here and riding there I have always hated running like I've never been a good runner right um And I kind of feel like my endurance journey sort of started with open water swimming.

Like I started doing laps at the pool and the next minute I'm doing like a 5K open water and then the World Series swims all over Australia.

And then sort of got into like marathon swimming and stuff like that.

As much as I... didn't realize it at the time.

I think like a lot of it had to do with like regulating with like neurodiversity and things like that, which definitely helped.

And then obviously like the dopamine seeking, I kind of feel like I fell into like triathlon and endurance based from, you know, like a mental health perspective and being wanting to be like connected to community.

So like
