I also dabbled in competitive cycling, running and triathlons with some success upon retiring from top-line racewalking but I won't bore you with the details. I still have the occasional walk but am happy to put back into the sport as an administrator rather than to compete. I am married with 4 grown up boys (ranging in age from 24 to 30) and live in Melbourne. I am currently the secretary of the Australian Centurion Walkers and maintain these pages. I am also secretary of the Victorian Race Walking Club and Vice President of Racewalking Australia and maintain their webpages also.
By profession, I worked in the IT field as a 'Middleware' consultant and dabbled with software on mainframe, midrange and Windows computers for a living but I have recently retired and ema enjoying a new lease of life after work!
