After selling the recruitment business which he had spent the past decade building in 2020, Ed found himself looking for new challenges during the pandemic. Having been a CrossFit devotee for many years, he decided to compete in his first triathlon in Bournemouth back in September 2020, then progressed to a 70.3 triathlon race in 2021.
The TWAC had caught his eye previously- as someone who loves water sports – but as a non-rower, hadn’t been seriously on his radar. However, his experience of taking part in the Houston 150, a 150km bike ride in Austin, when he raised £3000 for a multiple sclerosis charity had planted the seed of an idea to completing more physical challenges to support worthy causes. So, for Ed, the TWAC has become the ultimate personal challenge and way to give back and it’s his determination to take on the huge amount of planning and logistics that will get the team to the start line on December 12th.
