Perseverance is the
hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did

When I chose to document my dad training I wanted to capture
him doing something that he loves. I have memories of my dad waking me up at
5am to go and watch him compete and the thermoses of hot chocolate he would
make for my mum, sisters and I on the sidelines.
The sport demands discipline and hard work attributes that I
try to emulate in my everyday life.
I wanted to document something that people hadn’t seen a
thousand times over, everyone sees the finish line and the medal but not what
goes on in between.
