It all started in 2000 when I changed from an active job to a desk job and I could see my waist line growing at an alarming rate, I started swimming, then running and was asked to go on a ride? I had a problem I did not have a bike – asking around I blagged a new GT bike for £250 and so it all began…
My first Tri race was Wansdyke Sprint Tri and on completing this I was then bitten by the tri bug. I joined Kingswood Tri in 2001 and soon became Vice Secretary then voted in as Secretary in 2002. Over the next few years, I improved in all disciplines from the great knowledge base within the club to complete my first Ironman Triathlon in 2005.
I then specialised in Olympic Distances and represented GB in my age group. I have now completed 6 Ironmen. I can be found at most of the club training sessions. If you are interested in joining or want a friendly chat please do not hesitate to contact me on 07769172594 or
