All distances including Hawaii Ironman 2006. Represented GB at various World and European Age Group Champs, with medals in aquathlon (Honolulu 2005) and standard distance triathlon (Lisbon 2008).
Has raced sprint to Ironman and everything in between, plus ultra-marathons and 24-hour mountain bike races. Lost count long ago, but 400+ finishes and wins in half a dozen sports. No longer getting faster, but still love racing!
When I started triathlon I was coached privately by the former Ukrainian Olympic athlete Vladimir Polikarpenko. I joined Ful-On Tri in 2015 and in 2017 I qualified for the ITU long distance world championships and the ETU middle distance championships.
Sprint, olympic, half Ironman and Ironman, including Kona. Prefers half Iron: it’s a good distance challenge but the training is manageable.
I have now raced more triathlons than I can reliably remember, including multiple top-20 overall Ironman placings.
Sprint, Olympic, duathlon, half Ironman and Ironman. Prefers anything that avoids running fast (or running at all!!)
Other sports: waterskiing (barefoot, slalom, trick, jump, wakeboard & kneeboard), part of the provincial show ski team. Rugby, touch rugby, tennis, soccer, hockey, cricket.
California and UK, all sprint and Olympic. Prefers triathlons that go swim-run-bike.
Started triathlon with a sprint at Dorney Lake. Also raced olympic, middle (3 x Vitruvian), 2 x Alpe d’Huez and completed 2 Ironman (Austria and Copenhagen).

Sprint to Ironman distance. Prefers Ironman!
From supersprint to half-Ironman and many other multi-sport events.
Highlights so far: New Forest Half, Dart 10km, Haute Route & coastal runs.
Raced all distances up to Ironman. Prefer to go slower and eat more at middle and long distance. Also enjoy marathons and sportives.
Too many to list, but most notable and enjoyable events include the Helvelyn Triathlon and Ironman Austria. Most notable none-Tri is the 14km Bridge-to-Bridge Swim.
Sprint, Olympic, middle, Ironman distances and some of the weird ones in between. Favourites are Tristar 111 (bring it back), middle distance and aqua-bike. Have raced GB age group for both sprint and long course.
Started with Blenheim Super Sprint and built up from there to 70.3 – all completed at a fairly pedestrian pace compared to many. Prefers post-race celebrations and mid-ride coffee stops (though not during a race!)
