Having graduated with a Bachelor of Optometry earlier this year I am very pleased to have based myself back in South Canterbury working part time as an Optometrist as well as training and racing Triathlon. Recently I raced in China and Japan in 2 ITU Asian Cup races with help from Aspect. This was a hugely valuable learning experiences racing overseas. I am now building a solid base in my training towards the NZ and Australian summer triathlon season.

Thanks again for the support from ASPECT.
