Blue shark trip off Rhode Island. My first time
seeing Blue sharks in the open ocean...absolutely beautiful animals, I'm
totally overwhelmed and in absolute awe. Their iridescent deep blue
indigo colouring is incredible. I had an 8-foot one pretty much slam
right into me to end the day! FINS UP!

Great Barrier Reef Distance Challenge! As a fun challenge in partnership with
Daryl Farmer of Running 4 Reefs I will be adding all my training & race
distances to span the length of the Great Barrier Reef - 2300km! 2.3
million meters! Daryl is
adding his ultra-marathon race distances to reach this goal - so he
will be racing the entire distance! The Great Barrier Reef is the
largest group of coral islands and atolls in the world, it is a
protected marine park, and has more sharks than anywhere else on our
planet!
2300kms: For
our Reefs! For our Sharks! FINS UP!

Feeling awesome on a raw vegan
diet Ⓥ; crazy high energy, fast recovery, sleeping like a rock, and my
entire system just feels better than ever. This is definitely the most powerful
change I have implemented into my training - without a doubt how the
human body is supposed to get its nutrition and fuel; raw, unprocessed,
enzyme rich, nutrient dense, plant-based foods. Give it a shot, for your health, the animals, and the
planet. Evolve, make the connection: Raw Vegan 4 Life!

14.5k ocean swim from Whitsunday Island to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier
Reef in a campaign to help protect sharks and raise awareness about the
importance of these animals in our oceans. This was the first time anyone has done the crossing
between these two islands. For the record we did not see any sharks on
the swim....
