welcome to the latest episode on this episode we speak to Mark Walford
Mark says "I joined a triathlon club in late 2019 (aged 35) having taken up open water swimming after spending most of my youth playing football but after having kids less and less exercise and an increasing waistline, I did some running but my knees was aching so trained up to do iron distance swim then 10km swim, and joined tuff fitty.
Then covid happened no swimming but the club was good at encouraging safe exercise, i had an old bike i never rode, got it serviced and that was the start of my cycling. I set myself a target of qualifying for aquathon as my cycling wasn't much.
I had entered Eastbourne sprint which became a qualifier much to my surprise I and qualified for Montreal in 2022. Next few years training more and more i qualified and raced
Montreal world sprint tri 2022
Bilboa European aquathon 2022
Madrid European sprint tri (change to duathlon)
Hamburg world sprint tri 2023
Menin European aquathon 2024
Torremolinos world sprint tri 2024
My results have been top 10-30 out of 40-100 participants, nothing to set the world alight.
However im potentially best know because last year i completed 24 SuperSprint triathlons in 24 hour (starting on the hour ever hour) raising over £4000 of Alzheimer's research uk. This hadn't been done before, subsequently someone from Finland attempted a work record of how many they could do in 24 hours making and completed 18. During this process i got a local school involved and they did a multisport festival for the kids to get into it."
