About me

Introduction	Heavily into raft racing in the mid eighties, won the 100 mile River Wye race with Farmers Rafters from Ross-on-Wye. Started running as a means to get fit for the rafting. Joined Wyvern Road Runners, Weston-super-Mare and met Jim White. At that time I was working at Rolls-Royce, Bristol where I met Bob Lisle. With Jim and Bob's help I began my journey into the sport of Triathlon, first the local sprints then onto Ironman. My first Ironman was the Longest Day, Wolverhampton. We knew nothing about Ironman and we did'nt know no one who had ever done one - Talk about into the unknown. Anyway, we both finished and the rest as they say is history. Many Ironman events later and I finally produce a worthy performance with my best ever time of 9:51 at IM Austria in 2006. Since then I have to admit I've lost my way - 2011 and IM Wales is going to be me rediscovering my mojo and hopefully finishing my my Ironman journey in style. I'm Now 51 years old and feel fitter than I've ever been !
