Craig, who some call “Alexander the Great,” is based in Boulder Colorado in the USA for the spring and summer, then heads home to Cronulla for the Australian summer. Once Craig mastered the short course triathlon and half-ironman distance worldwide and started competing over the ironman distance and now dominates that circuit as the two-time defending Ironman World Champion!
