    Did the Ironman Wales in 2019

    One of the best - and toughest Ironman courses - on the circuit. Incredible swim in Tenby - bay is like an arena with fantastic crowd support lining the cliffs. A beautiful sea swim and a smallish run from the swim to bike transition through the cheering crowds - huge buzz. Then a fantastic and scenic bike course - tough but good fun, and hilly run - tough again but a great atmosphere. First Ironman Bolton in 2017 had that year a great atmosphere during the run but wales has subsequently become my no 1 race. Love it to bits.

    What an experience! Amazing place and the crowd support and atmosphere was amazing. When land of our fathers was played before the swim start it sends shi ers down your spine and has to be experienced to be believed!
