Where it all began…
After starting university I joined the rowing club where I rowed with the university 1st VIII for 3 years along with competing for Molesey, an international London based club. However the 4:50am alarm to fit in with the squad and a full time job wasn’t a life style I could consistently maintain.
So at the young age of 20 I was talked into taking on a new challenge by a few of my best friends. A challenge that would go on to change my life. It was decided that within a year a team of 5 of us would compete in the Nice and Wales ironmans, in turn raising £5,000 for charity. I reluctantly signed up from the challenge, breaking away from rowing to fit in with a full time job.
With the running total ending at £5,482.19 excluding gift aid, some of the closest friends anyone could ask for and an addiction to a fast growing sport, you could say we were successful. And all official Ironmen.
Since then I have won European and World championship medals, and never looked back.
