The Committee
Chairperson: Dave CouldridgeI have been involved with triathlon since 2004, this came about after competing in many running races and was looking for a new challenge. I have always been a keen swimmer and thought I would get involved with the sport of triathlon.
My very first event was the London Triathlon Olympic distance. Since then I have competed in most distances and found that I am better suited to longer distance races. I am a UK Ironman finisher and am already planning my next Ironman adventure.
Secretary: Graham Morris
After foolishly getting myself roped in as a swimmer in a relay team for my first triathlon I was hooked. I was lucky enough to ask for assitance from RG Active, who made my goals feel very achievalble and gave me the confidence to persevere.
Since then I have completed the Blenhiem Palace Triathlon, The London Triathlon and in 2010 I finsihed the 'Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon' in San Francisco, an amazing race that I would encourage anyone to do given the opportunity.
I started my triathlon career a shade off 17 stone and am proud to say I have lost a few pounds since then!
I am very proud to be a part of the RG Active Race Team, a team that makes fun and friendliness as important as performance and results.
Race Team Captain: Brett Savidge
I did my first triathlon at London in 2007 and kept involved in the sport for a few years after this. After going on the RG Active Majorca Training Camp in 2011 I decided to enter more events so I had a busy year and took part in the Snowdonia Slateman, Windsor and London and some cyclosportives.
My main challenge in 2012 is the Ironman UK 70.3 at Wimbleball, racing alongside may of my team members.
I hope to see you out at the training sessions with other Race Team members, the atmosphere is always motivating while being inspiring. I am still pushed hard by everybody in the Team and we use each other to get the best out of ourselves.
Team Treasurer: Dermott Hayes
I have been active in the World of endurance sports since 2000 and have experienced most forms of multisport racing, although far prefer triathlon and cyclosportives.
I got into the sport through a work colleague who was incredibly passionate and that filtered down to me, and I hope that my passion can be of help to any members of the RG Active Race Team.I am an owner of RG Active (The Coaching Company) and so really do live and breath the sport in which has given me so much. As a competitor I have raced at pretty much all distances, in the last few years I have found that I prefer 'going long' and am a proud Ironman finisher at both Florida and Copenhaagen.
I look forward to many exciting times as part of the RG Active Race Team and look forward to seeing you all soon.
