Q.4 Years In Triathlons: Thats a dodgy one, I've done one good year racing and then the odd random race here and there. Here's hoping another good year of racing lies ahead....

Q.6 What's your favorite Discipline: its a close one between swimming and running but I'll go for running.
Q.7 Your most embarrassing tri moment: Coming out of the water at the Home Countries Triathlon in the Isle of Man. Thinking I was being 'smart ' by opting to take off my wetsuit on the beach before a steep climb to transition. Ended up falling over on the sand frantically wriggling like a fish out of water yanking the wetsuit from me. While it was all quite entertaining for the crowd, believe me jumping on a bike with sand all over you isn't very pleasant!
