I came to cycle in 2019 while struggling in life. It kept me going though covid and I discovered a talent and passion soon hitting near Pro Times in Triathlon.
Sporting wise I am keen triathlete and racing cyclists. I am a trained beach lifeguard a role I do for fun sometimes. I help lead the local swim community and am a go to for many people who need help and encouragement.
I hoped to be competing at Kona or Ironman European Championships registering some of the fastest age group times in the world, topping a cycle and run league in IRONMAN virtual and working towards an 80km 2 hour cycle and a sub 1:20 half marathon (I hit 1:25 finishing 4th in 2021 running into 40km/hr wind.
However, I lost my job due to injury before covid it has meant I have not been able to afford to compete and my near total isolation has really affected my moral and knowledge or races.
I enjoy the community side too doing fundraising for Mountain Rescue and then developing some contacts in pro sport and starting to develop a sports marketing and public health engagement agency where I had some great success. I have built links with Brit Cycling who have asked me to train as a coach, helped secure them £500k in funding in my region and am helping lay the foundations for a night time city street event in my region for all comers with sponsors lining up. I have professional contacts with UCI and the Great British Cycle Race but have not earned a penny so far. I persist.
I am also a chef and talented analyst.
