I got into triathlon after a summer activity holiday in Greece where I got on a road bike for the first time. With a background in running and I could swim it seemed a great new challenge and I did my first sprint race a couple of months where I surprisingly won my age group.

I then wanted to see what I could achieve if I put my mind to it and committed to some training over the winter. I did my first season of racing in 2019 and achieved qualification for the GB AG World Standard Distance Championships, silver at the English Triathlon Standard distance championships and was hooked!

I did my first 70.3 at the end of 2019 but then covid hit and I had a few years of inconsistency, lack of motivation and the general Covid hangover. My focus is definitely on the 70.3 distance as I love this style and distance of racing although I’ll never say never to doing a full…

I want to see what I am capable of, what I can achieve and where that might lead to in the sport.

I have always struggled on the bike leg in a race, relying on my strong run to pull me through the field and compensate for my lack of cycling experience. I was seeking out everything to help me improve this when I found EZ Gains. I love the innovation, ideas and commitment EZ Gains has to helping improve bike speed with their products. I use the disc and chain ring covers and love them! They are easy to put on or take off depending what you need, and much more affordable than a whole other full disc wheel. I’m excited to see what other ideas Clint pulls out of the bag next!
