Nick Taylor
Main area of interest: Endurance Mountain Biking
What I sometimes dabble in: Off-road running, Swimming, Tramping
Where I hang out: Dunedin!
Currently I am working towards finishing my degree in Physical Education, majoring in Exercise and Sport Science. Next year I plan to start a 2 year Masters Degree focusing on physical activity for clinical populations, with a more specific focus on cancer patients.
Have always had a passion for the outdoors, with a recent focus on road based Long Course Triathlons, which have now taken a back seat to my passion for Mountain Biking. I have a liking to the 12 hour enduro events as well as the point to point races.
The goal for this year is to complete my degree and to continue gaining experience in the Mountain Bike racing scene and to try increase my skills while getting a chance to see some new spots around the county.
Always use the Leppin Endurance Athlete after my training sessions. It is so quick and easy to whip up in the bottle or blender with Ice cream! Means I don’t have to worry about planning a protein snack for after a session, can shake and go!
Also cannot get enough of the Banana Leppin Gels! They go down well, specially if you sick of lemon flavours :P.
Sporting Achievements to date:
- Age group member of the NZ Triathlon team at 2009 World Champs

- 2007 South Island Half Ironman Champ (20 – 24)
