Endurance

Ambrose’s journey as an endurance athlete has been heightened by the common denominator between endurance and triathlon and culture - community. Through displacement, stolen generations and the history of First Nations people in this country, a sense of broken community has affected First Nations people tremendously. Reconnecting with mob through the lens of endurance sport has not only facilitated athletic achievements, fitness and physical health, but perhaps more importantly a sense of community, pride and belief. 

The humbling aspect and nature of true endurance sport, the swimming, riding and running on country adds so many layers to life. It is this layering and impact that proves incredibly important to Ambrose’s way of life and his embodiment of health and culture. They go hand in hand and are not seperate ventures of personal identity and exploration.
