Winning the Notts Team Summer League and the North Midlands XC Championship back in 2022 with my old club, LERC.

A duathlon is on the cards for me.

What advice would you give someone new to triathlon?
Trust the process, be consistent and don't be afraid to ask questions. Enjoy the journey and celebrate the small wins along the way. 💙💚

💙💚 MEN'S HEALTH WEEK 💚💙

This Men's Health Week, we're celebrating the positive impact that swim, bike and run can have on both physical and mental wellbeing.

At Nottingham Triathlon Club, we know that training is about more than chasing finish times. It's about friendship, support and being part of a community where everyone feels welcome.

As we head into the heart of the season and training starts to get tougher, it's more important than ever to keep supporting one another. Check in with your training partners, encourage your club mates and remember that everyone has good days and bad days.

Looking after your health isn't just about exercise. It's about talking, listening and knowing that you don't have to do it alone.

Keep swimming. Keep biking. Keep running. And keep looking out for each other. 💙💚

💚 Volunteer Spotlight Chris

Why do you volunteer with Nottingham Triathlon Club?
It's enjoyable, it's a chance to put something back. The club and triathlon have been so good to me over the years. Met some great people, we've participated in some great events and celebrated after.

What does your volunteer role involve?
I'm on the committee, I organise the social events and help with the social media. I've volunteered at our Swim Bike Run events and various local events. It's been a great few years.

Favourite thing about volunteering at NTC?
Hanging out with club mates — we're such a friendly club — then getting the opportunity to cheer people on who are taking on something epic.

Most memorable moment as a volunteer?
Our sold‑out triathlon event last fall. Great response from the club and local triathlon community. Harvey Hadden's such a great multi‑sport venue. Went well... Everyone was cheered in from the first to the last, the same. What triathlon is about.

What would you say to someone thinking about volunteering?
Do it. From helping out in your local club — which all clubs require — you get it back in seeing the club succeed, to volunteering at awesome local events like Outlaw, cheering on people that have put so much into training and so appreciate the support. Very special atmosphere at these events.

If you would like to join the committee, please get in touch.
