‘I’ve started doing a few triathlons over the past few years, as the realisation came that I’m getting older and running marathons (how I originally got into sport in my late 20s having been pretty much a couch potato before then) just involves me getting injured a week before the race. I have caught the bug, but with a small daughter and a few close calls on the bike I find finding the time and motivating myself to get out on the bike for a decent training ride is really hard. I had been just going around Richmond Park a few times on my own and coming back early a bit bored. So it’s great to join such a fantastically friendly club and enjoy riding in a group. Hopefully I’ll get a few races done this season with some proper training behind me – the last few years have been very hit and miss! Oh – and hopefully the group rides will encourage me to enjoy hills at least a little bit??’
