	Wetsuit Supplied By as part of my sponsorship package with Team Tri-UK. New For 2007 I will be wearing the synergie synflex suits. This suit is megastretch neoprene which is very flexible, mega buoyant and fitted with extra aquagrip arm panels. I'll be looking to be come out of the water in a strong position with this improved suit. New for 2007 is Scandinavian company They will be supplying the team with their endurance tri-suit. This suit has been doing the rounds with Tim Deboom in 2006 and has proven to be a very comfortable suit for endurance triathletes. Tim has also been wearing this suit in non-wetsuit triathlons which proves that this suit is also rapid in the water. I will be wearing this suit this year in both long and sprint distance triathlons.

	I'm riding an "Arione Tri Saddle" supplied by as part of my sponsorship deal with Tri-UK. This is by far the most comfortable perch I have ever trusted my crown jewels on, even riding on the "nose" feels comfortable with no need to shuffle about to get comfortable.

	I'm also using an (Easton Bike Components) Carbon seat post and stem. This accessory really helps to get the grammes off the overall weight of the bike as well as giving me a very secure and dampened ride. New for 2007 (Oval Concepts) will be supplying me with their mega cool all in one A900 aero bar. Oval have been supplying pro triathletes for the past few years and are the most desired aero company on the market.



	I use running shoes for both training and racing. I find that out of all the shoes on the market Saucony provide the most comfortable and flexible shoes to run in, but also giving me support when needed. They are also the only company to produce a lightweight racing shoe that gives you the ability to run a marathon, a 112 mile bike ride and still be able to walk around afterwards! New for 2007 bike shoes will be supplying the team. Carnac are a well respected supplier of triathlon cycling shoes. Their super stiff carbon soled shoes are the best fitting shoes on the market.



	This is a very personal choice as I cannot stomach most carbo powders. I recommend trying a product in training first before using it in racing. New For 2007 long serving Ironman nutrition supplier will be supplying me with Endurance Formula carbo drink. Gatorade have been supplying the feed stations at Hawaii for many years. They have developed their nutrition for the challenging requirements of the triathlete discipline.I used this formula whilst on the bike in Hawaii and it went down very nicely indeed. This prepared me well for the oncoming marathon.


	I strongly believe in supplements to help my body deal with the workload that I put in and take a good once a day multi-vitamin as well as a 500mg calcium tablet. Vitamin E is also helpful with muscle and bone repair, as well as boosting the immune system. I'm also a big believer in (Elagen Sport). I have been using Elagen for around 5 years now and I firmly believe in its ability to kill Free Radicals in my body and help my body recover and re-build staying healthy in times of mega overload training.





	It's always nice to get new "Gucci" kit but it's all worthless without the support of your loved ones. Ironman is a sport which has to be shared!!! You need the support of the people who care for you because you cannot do it all on your own and in many ways it's the most important part of anyone's kitbag. You need people to keep you motivated when times get tough ( Believe me they will... ). They have to understand the challenge you are setting yourself and fully support your Ironman program. When you are out on a 6 hour bike you need to know what family are happy you are out doing this training so that you can fully concentrate on the task in hand without any distractions. I certainly would not get the results I have achieved in Ironman without the love and support of my wife and having very supportive parents. In a way I owe all my results to them ...
