Previous Life


Jez:

"I have been so blessed to live a diverse and enriched life through sport thus far and it gives me great pleasure to share a bit of that journey with you here.

I stopped racing in 2014 having started in 1992 and was lucky enough to carve out a career as a sportsman which has saw me race as a professional, win 81 races and become British number one."



"I started my sporting life in the as a 13 year old racing Cyclo-Cross in West London in 1993 and went on to become an Elite road cyclist racing cyclist competing across Europe and occasionally further. In 2003 I had a change of direction and began racing Duathlon. 
With a lot of hard work and many blessings I went on to become the british number one ranked Duathlete and along the way,  won more Duathlons than any other athlete in the history of the sport at the time
None of these opportunities would have been possible without some very important people in my life.
They are: Graham MacNamee, Tilman Marsh, my lovely Mum, Jamie Pringle, Peter Dymoke, Pete Swettenham
Leda Ray, Tom Rowan, Matt Brown and Jesus.
( just not necessarily in that order )"
