Alex played lots of volleyball in his younger days, including training with the England Juniors squad, but just not tall enough to make the team!  He was Introduced to triathlon at university, but didn’t actually start training and doing them regularly until 2008.  In terms of where he usually places in the field, his splits indicate that his strengths are running, followed by the bike, followed by a pitiful swim.  Running is the only discipline that he has competed outside of a triathlon:  With PBs to date of 5k 16:42 ( at Bushy park ), 10k 34:50 and HM 1:21:50 he is looking to get all these down this year.  He is mainly training for Olympic distance and would love to bring his bike time down to an hour or under and get his swimming down to under 21 but realistically under 22 would be great!

The question is – is Alex our lucky 50th member?
