Club Social Secretary
- I’m not from a Triathlon background, but have always enjoyed running. I suffered from an knee injury, after running a half marathon in 2015. It was suggested I should try some cycling instead. I was hooked from the first metre. Next thing I know (glass of wine and easy internet access one evening) I had entered a Chilly Duathlon. I was hooked. Next thing I’m swimming! With the encouragement of the fantastic coaches, my first year of Triathlons has seen me compete at Westonbirt and Portishead.
Mark Robson

- After learning how to swim by watching a few YouTube videos, Mark completed his first triathlon in 2016 – the Cotswold 113 half-iron distance. His second year has seen him adopt a more sensible approach, completing a number of standard distance triathlons. His aim is to complete his first full Ironman when he turns 50!
