Nat Heath first started competing in triathlons in 2011 after suffering from Guillian Barre Syndrome, which left him with paralysis and in a wheelchair unable to walk.
Noongar and Martu athlete Nat Heath has officially become a two time Ironman World Championship finisher in Kona, Hawaiʻi. After making history as the first Indigenous man to compete at the World Championships in Kona, Hawaiʻi in 2015, he qualified again to compete nine years later. "Stoked to be here. Nine years since I've last been here," he said. Mr Heath crossed the finish line in nine hours, thirty one minutes and sixteen seconds.
Mr Heath founded TriMob in 2020, an organisation that empowers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to participate in triathlons to support their physical, mental and spiritual health. He first started competing in triathlons in 2011 after suffering from Guillian Barre Syndrome, which left him with paralysis and in a wheelchair unable to walk. Mr Heath worked hard both physically and mentally to recover and completed a triathlon eight months later.
