Harry's Story

My parents were always incredibly supportive and allowed me to get involved in any club when I was younger as long as I enjoyed it. I slowly cut the list of sports I was taking part in down to swim, bike and run. My Dad signed me up for the local triathlon (Oldbury White Horse) and it was the most painful day of my life – I was hooked!

Being a triathlete is a lifestyle. Especially being a pro trying to compete with the best, you need to eat, sleep and breathe it and diving into all these little percentages and trying to get the best out of myself is in some sense addictive. It’s the constant pursuit of something better, whether that’s subjective or objective or both.

GREATEST CHALLENGES:
Stepping up from Age-Group to Pro racing and understanding how to race effectively in the Pro field - I’m still learning. 

SEASON GOALS:
Get closer to the front of pro racing and focus on getting points towards the PTO ranking.

KEY RESULTS:
Podium at Challenge Wales 2022.

STRONGEST DISCIPLINE:

I always used to say running but actually, swimming has improved so much in the past few years that I think it’s the swim now.

TOP 3 SWIM TIPS FOR SOMEONE GETTING STARTED IN TRIATHLON:

  • Have a goal and a focus for each session so you know why you’re doing it, this will help you stay motivated. 
  • Have patience. Swimming can be a very frustrating sport to see development and improvement in and you need to give it time. 
  •  Swim with others who are better than you, this will elevate your training and make you a better athlete. 

WHICH ZONE3 KIT DO YOU RECOMMEND THE MOST/HAVE FOUND THE MOST USEFUL:

All the kit is amazing quality, I’ve been using the training kit (paddles, snorkel etc) which has really helped elevate my training. I can’t wait to open my season in the new Vanquish-X at Lanza IM 70.3.

FUN FACT:

I love photography and videography.
