Craigs Story - From Couch to.... Ironman!
In June 2021 Craig who was known for his love of racing sportsbikes and drinking Stella Artois tried Open Water Swimming. On a visit to Chelmarsh reservoir Craig met Dave...soon to be known as 'Dangerous Dave' as within 6 short weeks of swimming together Dave encouraged Craig to sign up for a Triathlon....no not any Triathlon - IRONMAN COPENHAGEN!!
So without further ado the training commenced.Craig is now:
- Building up his swimming ability and distance in open water
- Getting to grips with road racing (Not to mention clip-in pedals!)
- Starting his run training as a novice runner.
Craig is using this enormous training challenge as an opportunity to support Our Place, a community organisation founded and managed by his partner; Kelly.
Our Place Support help over 1000 people every year to make positive changes in their lives, they do this through providing mentoring for children and young people navigating mental health challenges and offering welfare advice for individuals and families in crisis or hardship.
