Nickname? Bronnie
Favourite Race? Noosa Tri, followed by the Bribie Series
(it’s got a great community event and I love the DAT team spirit)
Favourite Distance? I’ve just discovered the sprint distance, far less painful than the Olympic distance!
Proudest Sporting moment? Swimming faster than my husband!
Favourite DAT Activity? It’s a toss up between swimming with pull buoy and legs tied together or vertical freestyle kick at the deep end of the pool.
Worst Sporting injury? Grazed Shoulder from bike stack involving altercation with dog walkers at Kalinga Park
What Bike do you Ride? GIANT and Spanish Prince – Orbea
Why do you do Triathlons? 1. Escape the kids
2. Escape the husband (sorry Simon)
3. Excuse for not doing housework
4. I thought it would be cheaper than partying on a sat night – how wrong can one be!
5. Excuse for spending lots of money on cycling bling
Favourite Training Day? Transition Training on Sunday arvo at the pool
(only because I can almost beat Simon in a race!)
Favourite DAN Quote? I’m generally in too much pain to take in his encouraging words! Although like Megan, his anatomical discussions at the wind training sessions are always entertaining.
