Having just retired from my injury plagued football career that day, instead of facing the facts that my life was about to change, I decided to run away from making any real life decisions. I had never run more than 10 kilometres before, and I thought it was a “good idea” to sign […]
I had never completed a triathlon before, and a year out from my 2000 kilometre in 12-day Ultimate Triathlon, I thought it would be a good idea to get a multisport event under my belt.

This was my first real big adventure. I spent eight days in Guatemala climbing active volcanoes and seeing some of the beauty the country has to offer. I spent most of my time in the second largest city Quetzaltenango, which is at the base of The Santa Maria Volcano, the 4th highest Volcano in Guatemala […]
