If it wasn't for my dad, I would never have known about pentathlon, because it's not popular at all in Australia.
Even though decathlon is really long, there's always something different to look forward to, which is great for mental stimulation.
Don't ever in your life do a World Cup and the Olympic Games at the same time. This will make your life almost impossible.
One thing I thought of, I call it By Sea, By Land, By Foot. It'd be a 100-mile paddle, a 100-mile run, and a 100-mile bike, back-to-back-to-back. But I don't want to end up in the hospital.
I didn't even know what it was when I started. But I was lucky. I found it at 16. Most people don't discover decathlon until they're 21 or 22.
I did my first triathlon when I was 11-years-old and it was just another new sport to try. I got better at it and decided to take it a bit more seriously.
Not too many people know what a pentathlon is or what's involved, which is why visiting schools is good because they can learn about it at a young age and hopefully try it out.
