We're sponsoring a great bunch of guys and a super quick girl this year on the triathlon team. These athletes come in the form of David Glossy, Phil Holland, David Kiernan, Jason Moore, Jordan Mackie, Jim McKellar, Suresh Dulal and Rachel Hallam.

Here they all are, trying to keep warm on the day of the team launch.
Let's have a brief look at each one and give a brief summary of what they've been up to this year:
Dave Glossy:

Team Captain of the Corley Cycles Triathlon Team.
During the week he runs and works in a barbers (Hair Masters in Stony Stratford), don't let this lull you into a false sense of security though as he is a demon on the bike!
So far this year Dave has been getting some great results including 1st at the Buckingham Triathlon where he took overall victory!
Phil Holland:

The World Champion.
Phil's favourite bit about tri/duathlon is the running, though he absolutely loves his new Trek Speed Concept!
This year Phil has already become European Age Group Champion in Duathlon (which Holland won in Holland), he has won the Althorp Duathlon and come 2nd in the Dambuster Duathlon.
David Kieran:

The Time Trailling Triathlete.
David K is more known for his very fast TT ability, he can certainly upset Dave and Phil on the bike and that's saying something!
In 2013 David has come 4th at the Bosworth Duathlon (1st Vet though) and had a handful of 2nd places in TTs all of which were won by Matt Clinton so we're not going to complain about 2nd!
Jason Moore:

The up and coming one.
Jason is relatively new to the triathlon game, but then he is only 24 so we'll let him off.
So far this year Jason has come 2nd in the Bedford Sprint Triathlon, the winner was Phil Holland with Dave Glossy coming 5th.
Jordan Mackie:

The brainy one (allegedly).
Jordan is currently studying at Loughborough University and has made an interesting workshop in his dorm room...
Jordan will be taking part in the Stowe Sprint Triathlon this year and is hoping for a good result.
Jim McKellar:

The old bullet.
Jim got convinced by a friend to take up Triathlon at the age of 74, which considering he couldn't swim at the time could have been disastrous, thankfully it wasn't!
He has entered the British Triathlon Champs which are to be held in Liverpool this year.
Suresh Dulal:

The one who works in the shop.
Suresh is more Ironman than Ironman! He regularly runs home from work which is roughly 18 miles away.
He is set to do Ironman Austria this year!
Rachel Hallam:

The female one.
Rachel is a farmer by trade as well as a qualified Sports Therapist, so when she's not out swimming, running or biking, she's busy lambing and sorting out injured sports folk.
This year Rachel has claimed fastest woman at the Buckingham Triathlon, where she did a 5:03 on the 400m swim leg! She beat Dave Glossy on both the swim and run legs, watch out Dave!
So there's a little bit about our Tri folk. We're expecting great things from them throughout the year and we'll try and keep you all updated with their results. For some very camp looking men check out the Tri team launch pictures on our Facebook page. You'll be able to find out more about the athletes on their profile pages (which are currently being updated).
