Why did you join Nottingham Triathlon Club?
As a runner, I was looking for my next challenge — that's the short answer!
Favourite session?
Wednesdays. Don't make me choose between swim and run!
Something you wish you'd known at the start of your triathlon journey?
Everyone started somewhere, and that first session can feel daunting for anyone. But NTC is one of the friendliest groups of people I've ever been part of.
Next event
🏊🚴🏃 Blithfield Olympic Distance Triathlon
Goal for 2026
🎯 Achieve a PB over the Olympic distance and enjoy taking on a couple of half marathons.

Why did you join Nottingham Triathlon Club?
In a nutshell: my son, Ned. He wanted to join after seeing the junior squad training on a Tuesday evening, and I decided it would be better to get back in the pool than sit on the balcony for an hour every week. It had been around 10 years since my last triathlon and, when I joined, I had no intention of returning to the sport. I simply saw it as a way to add some variety to my cyclo-cross and mountain bike training.
My swim form came back much better than I expected and that competitive itch soon returned. With XTERRA making its return to the UK, it all felt a bit like fate!
Favourite session?
Club-wise, I can generally only make the Tuesday swim session, but my favourite set has to be an old-school 20 x 100m at CSS pace with 15 seconds recovery. Find your rhythm, get stuck in, and try not to lose count!
Outside of club sessions, you can't beat 2–3 hours on the mountain bike at somewhere like Cannock Chase or heading out for a gravel ride — the hillier, the better.
Something you wish you'd known at the start of your triathlon journey?
Don't be afraid to try something a bit different. Back in the early 2000s, my triathlon coach suggested I give cyclo-cross a go over the winter as a way to improve bike handling and add some high-intensity training. As a road cyclist at the time, it felt like a big leap, but it worked and I've loved the sport ever since.
I think most triathletes would benefit from spending more time riding off-road. Not only does it improve handling skills, but it becomes much more of a full-body workout as you're constantly moving around on the bike.
More recently, I only got into mountain biking because of Ned, but it's opened up a whole new world of events and experiences, including racing in the Dolomites last September.
Next event?
My next A-race will probably be XTERRA UK next May, but before then I'll be racing mountain bikes throughout the summer, followed by a full cyclo-cross season and plenty of cross-country and trail running over the winter.
Goal for 2026?
First, get my slightly injured ankle sorted and then focus on improving my run pace. And, perhaps most importantly, introduce Ned to the world of open-water triathlon at Mallory at the end of June.

Day 1 of the first-ever NTC Social Training Weekend in the Peaks ✅
We kicked things off with a fantastic trail run this morning, with routes to suit all abilities, plenty of quality training and some stunning views 🖼️
A big thank you to Cary for organising, Matt for leading the session, and well done to everyone who took part. We'll definitely be organising more of these in the future.
There was also some excellent post-run recovery and socialising (and cake 🍰).
In the afternoon, we enjoyed a great swim session at the Lido at the New Bath Hotel, expertly coached by Matt.
Day 2 brought a fantastic ride to round off the weekend 🚴♀️🚴♂️
A huge thank you to Cary for organising the routes, sorting the kit and generally being an absolute club legend. Thanks to our HOC Matt 👑 Tom for leading the 🚲
Well done to everyone who joined us and put the miles in. 💚
There was plenty of good riding, great company and of course... more cake 🍰
A fantastic weekend of training and socialising. We'll definitely be repeating this one in the future — perhaps with even more cake 🎂😉

Why did you join Nottingham Triathlon Club?
My wife, Anna, first joined while training for Nottingham Outlaw 70.3. I then got roped into the HUUB Sprint Relays and absolutely loved the chaos but even more so the community around NTC. If you’re thinking about entering a triathlon, join NTC and get yourself on a club ride. Spending a few hours bending the ears of seasoned athletes about all your concerns is worth its weight in gold.
Favourite session?
Track sessions with Mario and Susan were always my favourite but with the kids’ sporting commitments during the week, I struggle to make them these days. 😭 My highlight sessions now are the social rides with Cary Tours in the Peaks. Regardless of ability, you’re always guaranteed good banter, great views and amazing coffee stops. Oh, and a few decent climbs too. 🥵
Something you wish you’d known at the start of your triathlon journey?
Don’t be scared, everybody starts somewhere, and the NTC community is always there to help. Also, don’t be under any illusion that you’ll resist buying the bike you laughed at when you first started because of the price. Sooner or later, you’ll end up buying it… I’m just about to do exactly that. 😂💰
Last or Next Event
🏊🚴🏃 Nottingham Outlaw 70.3 – probably a PB but with the shortened swim we’ll never know! Either way, I absolutely loved it.
🏊🚴🏃 Next up: T100 London
Goal for 2026
🎯 Get stronger on the bike, start actually going swimming, and stop winging it.

Why did you join Nottingham Triathlon Club?
I joined Nottingham Tri Club to find a community of like-minded people whilst leaning on the experience of others for guidance and support through my first 70.3 event at Outlaw 2026.
Favourite session?
🏊♀️ 6am HH Swim
Something you wish you'd known at the start of your triathlon journey?
I wish I'd joined NTC earlier in my training as I have been able to progress my swimming confidence and technique in a way which wouldn't have been possible if I'd continued to train alone for the duration of the training block!
Recent Event / Next Up
🏊🚴🏃 Completed Outlaw 70.3
➡️ Next up: Mallory Park Sprint Triathlon
Goal for 2026
🎯 My main goal was to complete and enjoy my first 70.3 and overall to continue growing my love for this sport 🤩
