Q&A with Justin Godfrey

  • What inspires you to race off-road?–Coming from an XC mountain bike back-ground before I took up triathlon, when I found out about Cross Triathlon I was like YES this is me. I saw it as another challenge for myself, not so much the riding but the running off road. So I would have to say my main inspiration was to be able to combine to two sports I love in one event.

 

  • What do you love about cross triathlon?Similar to what Inspires me to race off road. I love the atmospheres around cross triathlon and the amazing locations you get to see. Even though you are racing there is something about being out in the wilderness, which most can relate to.

 

  • Your multisport goals?My goals in multisport as to win another world champ of course, but to also give the all the distance a go as well maybe even challenge myself to a dirt master .

 

  • What’s it feel like to be a World Champion?The World Championship in the Snowy Mountains is one of my biggest high lights to date. To be able to race a World Championships on Home soil with family and friends support is something I’ll never forget. It’s always an amazing feeling heading to the finish line especially on home soil, and to have my wife and girl waiting at the finish it was something special. It also happened to be my daughters birthdays on that day to and they are always so supportive it was fantastic to have them there and share this with them.

 

  • One key factor that keeps you motivated to continue to work hard every day?It’s had to pick only one key factor, as my wife and kids are a big factor in my motivation. The main thing is I always set myself smaller achievable goals on the way to my major goals. This helps focus and allows me to re asses as I achieve them.

 

  • What do you look forward to most about working with BandJRacing?I was amazed by both Jacqui and Ben ever since I first saw them race, their passion and dedication to the sport is inspirational. I hope to learn from their knowledge and experience in the sport and am honoured to be a part of the BandJRacing team.
