I love the customisation that Precision Fuel & Hydration offers. The products sit well in my stomach and tastes great as well. I use PH 1500 to hydrate before racing to ensure I'm not going into races with any deficiencies.

16x IRONMAN 70.3 Champion

Sam is a non-drafting IRONMAN 70.3 specialist who is consistently winning top honours in professional races.

He grew up in Western Sydney, Australia, before moving to the Triathlon Mecca of Boulder, Colorado, where he has lived for the last 5 years. He has won 16 IRONMAN 70.3 events and has been in the top-8 at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships on four occasions, including two top-5 results.

He started working with Andy Blow from Precision Fuel & Hydration when he tackled his first full distance IRONMAN at the end of 2019 to ensure his hydration was 'on point' for the event. Sam finished 4th on his IM debut in a brilliant time of 8 hours and 9 minutes.

Sam's Top Tips

Consistency is key! Train more often rather than doing long intermittent sessionsNothing new on race day - make sure everything you do during a race has been practised and used during trainingFind what works for you! Not everyone needs to train 30 hours per week
