61. TESSA MOORFIELD & JULIAN BENNETT - Discovering Your Inner Strength and Conquering Ultraman Australia

Today I have the absolute pleasure of chatting with 2 incredible clients of mine Tessa Moorfield and Julian Bennett about their experience and journey to conquering Ultraman Australia. They both completed the 3-day event in extraordinary style with Tessa finishing 2nd Female overall and Julian 4th Male overall. They share how they prepared, managed the dark times, and how their coach, friends, and family played a major role in completing the Ultraman.

Tessa, is a builder and owner of Moor living, and started triathlons 7 years ago and has an impressive list of marathons and triathlons under her belt.

Julian works for Royal Flying Doctors Service and is the director with the In2EdAfrica foundation and a youth mentor through Raise.

Julian took up triathlon in 2018 when he and his brother set themselves the challenge of training for and doing an ironman within 12 months.

Having done a handful of Olympic and 70.3 (half ironmans) and 3 full ironmans both he and Tessa came together to set their next big challenge. To complete the Ultraman Australia. 

Having both been coached by World Champion Richard Thompson, we get an insight into what their program looked like, the changes made along the way and the valuable lessons about nutrition, recovery and mindset needed to accomplish this extraordinary challenge.

I’m in awe of both Tessa and Julian. Not only are they incredibly disciplined and driven to achieve their goals to the best of their ability, but they are also incredibly honest and humble about the entire experience.

They are good people doing extraordinary things. Julian has also been raising funds for 4 charities very close to him.

In2Ed Africa, barncancerfonden, Nairobi hospice, Healing with Horsemanship, which you’ll hear a little more about in today's episode. To support Juliana and these incredible charities please visit the link below.
