DAVID FAWKES
I am a Triathlete racing for the Beckworth Racing Team based out of Geelong, Victoria. I have been racing Triathlon for four years now after coming to the sport following two knee reconstructions in Football. I am also a PE teacher, and have a wife and two beautiful girls.
Triathlon for me is something I use to motivate the people around me, as well as the students I teach, and to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. It allows me to push the limits of my body and to see what I am capable of both physically and mentally.
Zoggs are the only brand of goggles I’ve worn in the sport as they have a quality product that enables me to focus all my attention on swimming as fast as I can. They also aim to make their products out of plastic waste, leading to a sustainable future for our planet and a big win for everyone on it. I love being a part of Team Zoggs and sharing a passion for swimming, the environment and of course racing fast!
