Championships. After starting out as a swimmer, he got into triathlon to “renew my passion for sport”.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT IT? I enjoy the freedom of it, I enjoy the fact that I get to choose what I do each day and ultimately your success/failures are completely down to you.
FAVOURITE LOCATION YOU’VE RACED IN? Kitzbuhel, Austria. Being surrounded

WHAT’S YOUR SIGNATURE DISH IN THE KITCHEN? I’m a poor to average cook- for the time being, however I have been saying that for a while. Like any guy I can do a curry and a spaghetti bolognaise and that’s the limit.
keep them going throughout. You can keep up with the team in future issues of the magazine, as well as across our social media with twitter Q&As, and their own personal accounts on our blog, also. We thought it would great if you got to know them a bit better, thus, readers meet our team!
