Meet the latest team member, double ironman finishing, sub 9 hour Ironman Darryl “Daz” Carter. He’s gunning for a slot at Hawaii at next weekends Ironman UK in Bolton. Here’s Daz in his own words…
I’ve spent the last three years as a triathlon coach, personal trainer and ‘part-time’ long-distance triathlete, having previous worked for 10 years in the Civil Service. I have raced for the GB age-group team, and have completed ten Ironman-distance and one double-ironman distance triathlons. My current Ironman PB is 8:57 but I would love to keep chipping away and get down to 8:45. I have considered entering a Deca-Ironman, but then slapped myself out of it!
I also enjoy the challenge of ultra-distance off-road running. Having failed to complete the Offas Dyke Trail (178miles) non-stop on a whim, I decided to take it a little more seriously over the last 12 months and start working my way up through the distances. I have so far completed two ultra trail races of 45 and 55miles and came 2nd and 1st in them respectively. I have entered my first 100mile trail run in October.
