Sam Hume
After switching from surf life saving to triathlon,
Sam Hume finished 12th overall and first in his age group in his debut ironman
at Port Macquarie 2006. With steady improvement over the next three years, he
was the second Australian across the line at the ironman world championships at
Kona 2008 in 27th place overall. In a big day out on the lava fields, Sam ran
himself into the 2nd amateur position with a sub 3-hour marathon to finish in
8h57m.
Living in bayside Melbourne, Sam has a busy day job as
a specialist physician in infectious diseases, and contributes a monthly
article for Australia's most popular triathlon publication Triathlon and Multi
Sport Magazine. His 2009 objectives include learning the nuances of
fatherhood and completing some unfinished business in Kona.
