Paul:
Paul is the enthusiasm behind the team. Having represented the UK in Age Group Competition in Hamburg last year triathlon is Paul's forte. (albeit an aweful lot shorter distance than this!). Never call Paul's bluff as he's not afraid of a challenge!
Paul took no persuading to join the team.
Chris:
Chris is relatively new to triathlon having started racing last year at Bala. With his strengths in swimming (fish) and running Chris has done his biking no harm by taking for ever to get himself a new bike. Instead he has been using a bike that those in the car trade refer to as "vintage".
As a result his biking has improved massively!
Andy Q:
Andy has had a crack at several varying challenges over the last few years from The 3 Peaks to Mts Toubkal and Olympus, from the London Marathon to triathlon...despite his swimming being atrocious (well there's always duathlon).
LEJOG sounds great (the saddle soreness doesn't)
John:
John is another fellow triathlete who has also represented the GB Age Group Team. John is just about the most positive guy around which will be useful when he joins the team for days 1-3.
Konrad:
Also joining us for the first few days, Konrad is probably the most experienced cyclist in the group. Being an Ironman veteran he is best prepared for the endurance and feeding element of the challenge!
Andy Wright and Becky
Vitally important to our efforts. Becky and Andy are each doing half of journey in the support vehicle, carrying vital supplies and spares. This means that we don't have to carry everything for the week with us every day. Becky and Andy are both legends as no matter how much this will hurt, it would be worse if we had to carry any more!
