Iβm thrilled to announce that Iβve officially qualified for the Deadly Dozen UK Championships on May 24th at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham!
Among the thousands who participated over the seasons, I made the cut.
Over the past two years, Iβve put in significant effort training for track races. Competing solo in Oxford, as well as in two pair racesβone in Bristol last year which we won and another at Lee Valley last weekend, has provided me with three different options to compete in the UK championship.
Iβm teaming up with Gareth in the 50-54 category, who was an outstanding race partner last weekend. I canβt wait to compete in just three weeks!
