Dyma stori Gill 📖 Gill's love for fitness led her from buggyfit classes to outdoor challenges, where she discovered her passion for triathlon. Starting with a race to support a friend, she soon caught the triathlon bug! Since then, Gill has achieved impressive milestones: 3rd in her age group at Ironman Wales, winning her age group in the 2018 Welsh Triathlon Super Series, and represented GB at the European Middle Distance Championships in Ibiza. 🤩 On top of this, as a result of participating in the TATA Steelman Triathlon 2023, Gill was selected to represent Wales as part of Tîm Tri Cymru at the British Standard Distance Championships at Royal Windsor Triathlon in June 2024. She reflected on it always being an honour to be selected to represent your country.

Llongyfarchiadau Finn! 🏆 Big congratulations to Welsh pro triathlete Finn Arentz who recently broke the Welsh long-distance triathlon record at Ironman Vitoria-Gasteiz on July 14th!
