This property is now inhabited by roy_the_vegan I'm 17 years old, from United Kingdom, I love to Cycle and do Triathlon. I also dabble about on the flute and sing in a choir, but that is just by the by. I am interested in almost all kinds of music, except pop and rap, and am always interested to talk to other people about sport and music | ||||||||||||||||

The main reason that I have set up this page, is to talk to people about my sport, and to encourage more people to do that sport... and no I am not getting paid for this! My sporting life started fairly late on, and was brought about when I suffered a huge Asthma attack (aahh). My parents decided that it would be best for me to take up a sport and get mega healthy and never have an attack again... well the last bit worked. Anyway, I joined a swimming club, but soon got bored with swimming. While I was there however, I met some guys from the local athletics club, who said I should come and train with them... Being naive and young I gladdly followed them, and my first race day involved me doing the 400m hurdles, 1500 flat and 1500m steeplechase. I should have quit after that, but things got a bit better when I found myself a coach for my hurdling and then got selected to run for London in the south of England Cross Country thingy... didn't do too well mind you I then left my school in London, and headed out to the Fens, and joined the Kings School Ely (hint, DO NOT visit their website!). The only stopper to my plans was the fact that I broke my leg soon after joining them, whilst playing rugby... oops, which left me out for aout 5 months. However I came back fighting fit, and slightly mad, and got straight onto my bike, and found that I was a natural cyclist.... and then it suddenly hit me... what a combo... all I had to do now was turn 17 and then I could become a fully fledged triathlete! My first race was a complete disaster... it was a duathlon, and I died on both of the runs, and fell off my bike towards the end of the race... I was going to pack up completely, but I was encouraged by one of my teachers to continue training, and also take up rowing.... BIG MISTAKE! However, I soon got back to form, and did a little better in the windsor triathlon... even though I nearly died when I jumped in the water! For the moment, I am out of training, but I am hoping to get back into training, on the bike alone this time. I have formed a training team at school and hope to race at county and even country level soon, before it all gets too late!
