I have always loved sport and competed at athletics and road running for over 25 years before finding triathlon. I competed in my first triathlon at Wattisham in 2014 but did not finish as I crashed my bike, fortunately I have not had any crashes (at least in races) since!
I joined ITC in 2015 and have progressed from sprint distance races up to Ironman, although I am still working on putting together a complete race for the full distance. My swimming and cycling have benefitted from training with the club especially the structured / coached Saturday swimming sets and long rides with other club members. However, being from a running background the final discipline is the one I look forward to the most.
I have been on the club committee for 5 years and as well as memberships I also look after England Athletics affiliations and cross country.
