This is the area of Paul’s adventure life that he gets the most fulfillment from. It is his backyard in which his natural instinct for the
right decision making process allows him to work at the cutting edge of operational mass participation and endurance sports. Paul always
reflects on his time at the pioneering ends of sports like triathlon and national rally championships. With very little in the way of
resources Paul had to compete with the major teams to deliver a result out of context with the teams capabilities.
Competing as an adventure
tourist has also enabled Paul to get into the minds of the competitor, so that his events are hard but realistic and he is not driven by ego
or an insane determination to crucify athletes in their aim to finish. This was clear when the World Adventure Championships were held in
Scotland 2007.
Paul was at the event supporting Richard and Elina Ussher from New Zealand and also analyzing the potential of the sport
before he took up his role as operations director of the Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge. Paul established that a backup route or plan
B was a crucial requirement for an event that was expected to deliver in hostile environments with extreme climate conditions. It allowed
for pre-planned course switches live, which maintained the real leader board and ensured a safer environment for the competitors and the event.
Scotland did not have this in place and it had a major impact on the event and the finishing order.
Safety is Paul’s major focus, probably
due to working in such a compliant and rigid environment as Financial Services, he has become accustomed to the need and the delivery of policy and safety.
His operational work on the Blue Mile was completed with attention to detail for Conrad Humphreys and WWF. In 2011 while other mass swimming
events held the same weekend were making the National Press for all the wrong reasons the WWF Blue Mile at Stoke Newington went off with no issues.
The event manual was over 127 pages and left no stone unturned.
