| When and why did you start doing triathlons: |
1990-95 then again in 2011. Why I started in the 90s was to have a crack at racing the best. My ‘comeback’ to the sport is more about fitness and friendship. Triathlon is a great sport that offers everyone (regardless of ability) a challenge and fosters a great sense of camaraderie. If the body holds up I imagine I’ll still be doing ‘Tris’ well into my ‘twilight years’! |
