Hi All, just wanted to introduce myself.
I'm Jon Cox and i've been doing sunday run training with Tony Daniels for nearly 2 years now. His talking about Triathlon got me interested and I picked up a road bike at the end of last summer and also started swimming with the aim to give it a go this year.
With the tri season approaching i joined PACTRAC and grabbed my BTF membership and put my name down for the Dambuster in June! I've got my eye on the mini series and have also entered the Cambridge Tri. I'm on the lookout for a couple more though :) I can't wait to give it a go!
Training is always a bit of a problem for me as I work in London (training time tends to be before work and at lunchtimes) so i'm not likely to make any of the club training sessions on a regular basis.
In the last couple of years running I think i've managed to tick off just about all the running injuries I could google - torn both calves, shinsplints, ITB, hamstring/glute issues, knee pain, inflamed tendons in the feet (i did that one while walking in corwall!) and various problems with my back lower and sciatica. Running shoe companies and physio's love me! What i've loved about training for triathlon though is the fact that even with the injury problems i regularly pick up from the running, i can always train on the bike and swim instead.
I'm also a member of Yaxley who i run for in things like the Frostbites.
I'm married to Sharon and have a couple of kids - Joel who is 5 and Caitlin who will soon be 10.
Looking forward to getting to meet you all soon.
