Libby and I at the 2002 XTERRA World champs in Maui.

Libby Burrell saved me from certain self destruction in 1998, and has since coached me to 2 Olympic Games and 3 XTERRA World titles. We have grown together, scaled mountains (conquered many, but also fell down a few) and after 10 years we are much more than athlete/coach. We are great friends.

Libby used to be a great endurance athlete herself, but nowadays she is especially passionate about coaching, especially developing athletes, and will be taking taking a handful of young South African triathletes to the Beijing Olympics this summer.
