DH: When was the last time you cried?

Todd: I don’t remember, probably when someone eats the last chocolate bar in the cupboard!

DH: What is your favourite inspirational quote?

Todd: “Everything happens for a reason”

DH: Do you have any weird suspicions or pre-race rituals?

Todd: I have a weird habit of wanting my own space when getting kitted and a bit weird on who is in the parc ferme/start with me but nothing major.

DH: What drives you most to get up in the morning and go training?

Todd: My dream of getting to Dakar
