My Sponsors
I am in the extremely privileged position of
being sponsored by some of the best names in the business.
Without the following companies help I wouldn't be able to train
or race in the way I do and in the places I do.
Bike and Run are the best multi sport retailer in London and are
based in Finchley. Steve, Nick and Tony know the
cycling, running and tri world inside out and have so far managed to
fix every one of my technical mishaps that I've thrown at them.
They're legends.

This season, Serial Sellers in Battersea who are the sole
importers of Diadora cycling wear to the UK are supplying me
with some world class and might I say rather sexy footware.
I will be racing in the Speedracer Carbon R (see
below...)which although not a tri specific shoe is remarkably
quick to get into and is super stiff and light. Much more
importantly though they look COOL.
I don't want to get them dirty though......
These are my new ones that I'm now using. The infinity carbon.
Very nice! : (click on the pic to visit their uk website)

Maximuscle have supported me for 6
years now. I use their Viper drinks, Viper extreme bars, and Recovermax to enable me to train longer and harder and then to
recover quicker. Maximuscle is without doubt the best
sports nutrition company in the UK and products such as Viper
and Recovermax have to be tried to be believed.
    
So That's drinks
taken care of but what do I munch on when out on the bike for
hours on end?
Sport Beans! These American Jelly
Belly beans have now been in the UK for 3 years now and the lovely
people at Best Imports in St Albans have supplied Leda and I
with literally hundreds of packets of them. They are, of course,
packed full of carbs but they also contain vitamins and minerals
to top you up, fight fatigue and prevent cramp.
That's all just a bonus though because the fact is they taste
sooooo nice! They come in Orange, Berry Blue, Fruit Punch and
Lemon/Lime Flavour but there's more flavours coming soon!

tips and bean related craziness:

AVIA provide me with the best
possible footware to run in.
It's the perfect company for me to
be involved in as they are a multisport specific company. The
roots of the brand grew in the 90s alongside their involvement with one of
the greatest Duathletes ever, the American, Kenny Souza and now
the brand is making a big comeback. Martin O'Donnell is
importing the whole Avia range direct to the UK and I'm really
excited about putting the shoes through their paces in the races
they are designed for. Check out their cool flash site at
www.avia.com


Last but by no means least,
Fisher Outdoor Leisure will be supplying me with some of the
finest cycling products available. Amongst the brands that
they distribute in the uk are:

Fisher have a
long history of supporting top athletes and using their
involvement with athletes to further their knowledge and
understanding of how to get the best results from the best
products. My wife, Leda is also supported by them and she rides
a swanky Look 585 with a Sram Force groupset. Check it out:
(she's gorgeous isn't she? Leda's not bad either.)
