Catch my monthly updates on the right:
Name: Westley Field
Dream: To be competitive in the over 50's. I guess that means a top 10 finish in an official event.
Age: 50 years old
Status: Sensational wife Lynette; Kids – William 21 and Christopher 23.
What do you do for work? Director of Online Learning MLC School / Managing Director Skoolaborate
What do you do outside of paddling? Kayaking with friends, spend time with my family, dig around the garden in Terrigal.
What ski do you paddle and why do you like it? Epic V10L, I think it is suited to shorter paddlers although a little concerned at the lack of volume for bigger waves - may need an upgrade
Career Highlights: Finishing the Ocean Series Races, 3rd in Division 6 Marathon Series 2009
Competition results : 3rd in Division 6 Marathon Series 2009
What do you eat before a race? Usually cereal with nuts but moving to fruit (watermelon, rockmelon and avacado) it just seems the champions eat fruit.
What is your training schedule? I generally paddle every day for approximately one hour, one swim session (20 mins) and a 10 run when I cant fit a game of touch football in. Recently started doing some cross training as well.
What is your strength? Addictive compulsive personality. I will stick like glue and go for this. Also watch that big finish.
What do you need to improve? Confidence in the big waves and swell and fitness levels. I guess my eating habits are pretty ordinary and if I can get rid of the scorched peanuts and coke and add that fruit I just might get there.
