Thanks for visiting my website.

My name is Kieran John and I'm a triathlete, for those of you who don't know what a triathlete is, we're the crazy people who go for a swim (in a pool, a river, a lake or the sea), then jump soaking wet onto our bikes and go for a ride, then just to top it all off after the bike ride, we go for a run....Nice!
All joking aside, triathlon is a great sport for people of all abilities, from complete novices to Olympic athletes.
If you take a look around my site you can see which events I'll be racing this year and my results, hopefully I'll be able to write race reports for most of my events (because results alone don't give the full picture) and they'll be available for you to read. You can also follow me on Twitter.

About Me

I’m 17 years old and live in Neath in South Wales. I'm currently studying for my AS levels at Neath Port Talbot College.
I started racing at the age of 7¹/₂ in the Tri-star start category, my first race didn’t go exactly to plan, the swim went well, then came transition. I remember running out of first transition with my bike, my head through the sleeve of my vest and my arm through the neck! Never mind, I enjoyed it and have been hooked on triathlon ever since.
Things have moved on a little since then, In 2006 I was Welsh Triathlon champion for the Tri Star 2 age category
(11 - 12 yr old) and represented Wales at the inter regional championships in Glasgow. This year I'll again be racing for the U.K.'s largest sponsored racing team, namely Team Tri U.K.
I'm a member of the Welsh Triathlon academy squad which is coached by Richard Brady (Welsh performance development coach) and ex elite female Olympic triathlete Andrea Whitcombe (assistant performance development coach).
Whilst my main sport is Triathlon, I also race Aquathlons (swim and run) and I also race in single sport events.
I swim for Neath A.S.C., run both track and cross country for Neath Harriers A.C. and cycle with Port Talbot Wheelers cycling club.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my coaches, both past and present for all their help and guidance in steering me towards my triathlon goals.

Outside of my triathlons I'm currently training for a JAR-FCL private pilots license with Cambrian Flying club based at Swansea airport. You can follow my flying experiences by clicking on the Flying Tab or here.
