Only started exercising at age 40 years. I started going to a local gym and doing group fitness classes and simple machine assisted weights. I suddenly got the exercise bug. Started going to Mount Maunganui Crossfit in 2012 - coached by Nikki Hanna and Luke McGruer. I entered a few competitions and represented my box in the New Zealand National team competition in 2013 (Masters Division). Having picked up a number of injuries I switched to Triathlon. Having also done some kettlebell work I cam back to CrossFit in 2017. I am currently a member of Alliance CrossFit in Papamoa, New Zealand. Coached by Chaz Clark and a great team of trainers. I have entered the CrossFit Open twice and really enjoyed the challenge. I am now 50 years of age and I am hoping to continue with CrossFit as long as my body let's me....
