Steve
took up cycling after setting himself the challenge of riding from
Lands End to John O'Groats to raise money for MS. After completing this
challenge in 2002 and raising £14,000 in the process, he decided to try
triathlon. He learnt to swim, started running and now competes in
multisport events up and down the country. He completed his first Ironman distance triathlon in August 2007, and is now looking for his next big challenge, conquering open water swimming perhaps?!! Wendy
Wendy is 34 years old and lives in Knaresborough with her partner Steve and their son Scott.
After
a slow start to her running career Wendy is now a regular runner and
has slowly increased her mileage in order to complete the Great North
Run. She fits her running around her busy family and work life by
getting up at a time of day not often seen by the other two members of
the team!
Alexia
Alexia is
26 years old and lives in Markington with her daughter Jessica. She has just finished a full time degree in Sport Business Management, and now works for Warner Leisure Hotels.
Alexia started running in order to lose weight, get fit
and change her unhealthy lifestyle. Alexia completed her first triathlon in
July to raise money for charity, and in 2008 attempted Ironman UK 70.3 but unfortunately got timed out after the bike. After a period of inactivity, in 2010 Alexia plans to get her trainers back on start running again!
