I GOT A NEW CAMERA + WHAT CAN'T I TELL YOU

I got some news today, which I regard as being absolutely awesome but I'm not allowed to tell you what it is, why is that? I will let you know as soon as possible, when I am allowed. After months and months of saving I finally got the new camera that I have wanted and I was able to test it out. 

TRAINING SMASHED ME + MESSAGE FROM BEN BROWN

This has by far been my biggest training day, 70km on the bike in the morning followed by a gruelling long trail run in the afternoon. The way that I suffered goes to show that I'm not afraid to go into the hurt locker but it also goes to show that I still have work to do on my fitness level.

I definitely learn't something today and that is to make sure that you're never hungry, because if you run out of calories you won't be able to function properly and you'll end up suffering just like I did.

TOO OVERWHELMED I NEED A BREAK

Everything feels like it's becoming too much at the moment and I just need a break. I've come to realise that not everything is going to be a breeze in life and sometimes you are going to have to step away from the picture, re-evaluate the scene then either tackle it, or find another way around it. We all need a break at some point otherwise we become too caught up in the fake world.

WHY WONT MY MATTRESS STAY UP

It was a good first day in Canberra. We got to catch up with so many people who I have not seen in such a long time. Sometimes it's nice to just take time off some training and enjoy life, just like what I did today. The biggest question of all though, is why doesn't my mattress want to stay up?

TRAVELLING TO CANBERRA

Today was an awesome day yet long day of travelling own south to  of travel. I'm so happy to be able to see my sister and hang out with her and other family over the duration of this weekend. It's not often that these things happy so it's always best to make the most of it. Always make the most of every situation.

MEDITATING ON A BIKE

I didn't feel like being on camera at all today but I managed to push through. One thing in particular really did help though and that was my bike ride. Even though it wasn't all easy, it's my way of meditating and although it may not be conventional, it works.

BANANAS, CYCLONES & BUYING STUFF

I GOT SPAT ON!!!

Had a fantastic day today despite getting spat on by a random passenger in a car when I was out riding. I don't think someone can get much lower than that. It's so gross and I'm still trying to comprehend what happened. I'll get over it though. Thankfully it's not raining and I was able to train.

INVEST IN A RICE COOKER

This would have to be my best investment. If you follow my vlogs I use it almost everyday and I think that it's the best thing money can buy and the best thing about a rice cooker is that it's cheap.

SAYING GOODBYE TO MY BRO

My brothers last day today, it's so hard to say goodbye after seeing him for such a short time. Hopefully we can catch up soon.

Hanging Out With My Brother

So awesome to have my brother at home this weekend. We started today off with a run and we finished in town tonight with Gelato, it was dairy free so you don't have to worry about that. It was my first long run today and it hurt, especially in my calves where I was sore from Thursday. I can only go upwards from here. Thinking of the positives.

PARCELS ARRIVED & SO DID MY BROTHER

I felt like it was Christmas again with parcels arriving left right and centre and to top it off my brother finally arrived in Cairns. After a few short weeks of waiting my T-Shirt from Roman Atwood arrived as well as my much needed computer components.

Absolutely Wrecked

Rain, rain and more rain. Got drenched today running and ended up really fatigued that I fell asleep in the car on the way home. Make everyday a good day and enjoy life, don't take it to seriously and do what you want to do.

I Won A Competition

Today it has started raining again, which means cycling is going to have to be put on hold. I got soaking wet, ate heaps of food and won my very first internet competition. Come along for the ride and don't forget if you want to go big, dream big.

Lost My Cycling Footage

Another cracking day today training on the bike in the morning and running into the sunset in the rain in the afternoon. Come along for the adventure as I chase my dream to Europe.

Dumbest Thing In The World

Today I no joke, did the dumbest thing in the entire world. I'm not too sure what else compares to this. I'm enjoying making everyday count and I love bringing you along for the adventure.

Riding, Flipping & Enjoying Life

Such an awesome day today, I loved every aspect of it. Started off bright and early and finished late at night. Sometimes in order to achieve your goals you're gonna need to give up sleep. But don't give up too much otherwise your body will become run down. Another bright and beautiful day here in Cairns.

Dealing With People Who Don't Appreciate You

Sometimes life throws you down and that's how I've been feeling over the last couple of days. It hasn't felt great at all. I missed so much of today's video just because I didn't really feel up to recording, but despite feeling down I got back up and tried to turn it into a positive. Listen to how I am trying to deal with people who don't appreciate me.

Punching Numbers

Running has always been something that I've been good at. It wasn't until late last year when I decided to take a break. This break lasted around 3 months and just recently I have decided to start running again. This video has a lot of footage from the session today and once again I'm punching numbers.

Pushing Limits & Opening the Mysterious Gift

I pushed many limits this afternoon at running training. I felt as though I went somewhere that I haven't been before. It felt good though and I liked that feeling.

Remember how I talked yesterday about receiving the mysterious parcel in the post? Well today I open it up and properly discover what is inside all that wrapping and packaging.

Day At The Reef + Mysterious package

A seriously huge day today, awesome experience out at the reef snorkelling and jumping off the boat. Check out the fantastic waters right off the coast of where I live, basically at my doorstep.

What have we found here? A mysterious package arrived today and I have no idea where it's from or who it's from. Can you take a guess and tell me what you think it is and where it came from?

How To Cure a Headache + I Don't Want to Ride

Pretty big day today, I did a whole heap from my ride in the morning to backflips in the afternoon. Come along and see my road to Europe as I vlog my life.
