Triathlete, Robert Johnston, is heading overseas to compete on an International level, thanks to a generous donation from a local business.
Robert, an engineer and new dad, is busy training hard for the Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii which are happening on October 13 this year.
Thanks to the support of local business PC Pitstop, he’s now heading over with the whole family.
Scoring his spot with his incredible finishing time of 9:17:12 at Ironman Australia in Port Macquarie earlier this year Rob said, “It was always my goal but it still blows me away that I actually achieved it.”
Beginning his sporting career in 2009 at the Camden Haven Triathlon, Robbie has focused his dreams, enhanced his training and embraced every opportunity to make it to the outstanding level he is at today.
That training involves going from 14 hours a week to up to 30 hours a week, improving endurance, speed, and core strength and involving plenty of early morning bike rides, swims and runs.
