Fav event of the year
South Island Champs because of the free surfing at Murders was insane!!!!
Go to pre surf fuel
Normally I eat fruits or muesli bars one hour before my heat

Back to El Salvador, and surf Punta Roca way moreeee
Any other sport
Probably competing in Hyrox they look very challenging

Watch your surroundings in the water and make sure you use priority wisely
