NAME: David King
NICKNAME: DK, Kingy, Sideshow Bob
HOMETOWN: Ettalong Beach and Randwick
FAVOURITE RUNNING SHOE: I seem to have tried them all but keep coming back to Mizuno
FAVOURITE MOVIE: Love Actually, Phenomenon, 8 Seconds, Coach Carter, Remember the Titans
WHO IS YOUR HERO: My wife and Jonny Wilkinson - both incredibly dedicated!
WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW: GRIT - The power of Passion and Perseverance
FAVOURITE PLACE TO TRAIN: Anywhere in the Eastern Suburbs - Centennial Park, Clovelly
FAVOURITE MUSIC TO TRAIN TO: Motivational talks and loud 'pump up' music. Oasis has been getting a lot of air time lately.
FAVOURITE QUOTE: To get the results that only 5% of people get, you've got to be willing to do what only 5% of people are willing to do.
FAVOURITE HOLIDAY MEMORY: Running across Spain with Sarah and stopping off in remote little villages to drink red wine, eat tapas, laugh and listen to local music.
WHAT WOULD PEOPLE BE SURPRISED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU: I am not a very good runner.
AT WHAT STORE WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAX-OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD: Its a toss up between Harry Hartogs book store, Mountain Designs, AMart Sports and Randwick Ritz Cinemas. That's assuming Flight Center is off the list.
CHOOSE A MOVIE TITLE FOR THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE: A Life Less Ordinary.
CAN YOU PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS: Zero! Absolutely no musical talent at all. Tapping on the steering wheel is a challenge.
WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME: Run. Not always because I have to, mainly because I love the clarity it gives me.
FAVOURITE CEREAL: Sarah makes home made museli and I have been know to get up early just to eat it - its amazing!
WHAT, IF ANYTHING, HAVE YOU EVER RE-GIFTED: As a teacher it is almost impossible to not re-gift some things. There is only so much wine and chocolates one can consume.
DO YOU HAVE ANY STRANGE PHOBIAS: The volume always needs to be on an even number... Pretty strange!
FAVOURITE FLAVOUR OF CRISPS: Chilli, BBQ, Salt and Vinegar - Anything apart from plain.
WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH: My wife Sarah (or Scarlette Johansen if Sarah is busy)
WHAT ARE 3 THINGS STILL ON YOUR BUCKET LIST: Make HBWR a sustainable fundraising entity, Build a Business that will support my family and Lucian's Scholarship, Run the Great Wall of China
IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERPOWER, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE: The ability to read minds!
