George Message: Club Treasurer After being inspired by his brother, George set himself a target of competing in a Triathlon in 2018. In preparation he spent a year learning to swim and joined Tri Tempo in January 2018 and over the next 2 years George competed in several local sprint triathlons until a temporary hiatus due to the pandemic and the birth of his 2 children. George was formerly a bike leader but has decided to take a step back in order to focus on aquathlons and longer distance running. George joined the committee in 2018 and as an accountant in his day job naturally took over dealing with the club finances soon after. Wes Mechen: Chairman/ Run Coordinator Wes completed in his first event in 2011 an aquathlon in Littlehampton and this gave him the impetus to go on and compete in triathlon. Having always been relatively fit and played football regularly (until injury struck), this provided a basic level of fitness for entering into the world of triathlon. Through training consitantly and developing his swimming ability (which initially wasn't brilliant!), Wes has gone on to achieve success in local events in triathlon/ running and has been competed in the British Sprint Championships and also the 70.3 European Championships in recent years. |

Ian Foxall: Social Secretary
Ian's first triathlon was at Eton Dorney in 2012. To say that it didn't go well is an understatement, but after finding out about Tempo several years later it was time to tackle unfinished business, and he entered a number of local events in 2017. Over the last few years Ian has mainly focussed on the occasional middle distance triathlon, having tackled Half Ironman Staffordshire and Half Holkham in 2018. Ian occasionally shows his face at the run sessions, and is always up for a chat and a gentle jog to get out of the high intensity sessions. He's also known to organise the occasional quiz night. |
