Andrea’s first triathlon was at Ripon Triathlon in 2010 before she then progressed to long distance (those 5ft 3 legs are built for distance not speed!) Having Chaired the Junior Club for 4 years now, she is excited to develop the club further to encourage people from all walks of life to give Triathlon a go, no matter what your starting point.

Mike has worked in banking and finance for nearly 30 years and is now in the family accountancy business, which is based in Ripon. Never has he completed a triathlon, duathlon but used to run and was a keen cyclist way back when. Mike is here to help crunch the numbers and support the club through the ever challenging landscape of ‘balancing the books’ and is very much looking forward to developing the rebrand and delivering a great club for all the members.

Hannah is a mum to a triathlete in the junior section. Hannah isn’t a triathlete herself, but enjoys running, cycling, and being generally active! She is a physiotherapist by background, and has a passion for promoting equality and sports for all, in a safe and supportive environment.

Mark has been doing triathlons since 2005, and says he still isn’t very good despite representing GBR as an Age Grouper (his wife does usually beat him though!) You’ll find Mark coaching the senior swim sessions on a Friday night.

Donna has been a Level 2 Triathlon coach since 2022 and you’ll find her coaching swimming on Mondays and in the summer at Ripon Racecourse. When she isn’t coaching, you’ll find Donna training as she also represents GBR in her age group and is competing again this year. Donna works in schools but at the end of 2026 she will be a fully qualified secondary school PE teacher. Donna is passionate about promoting sport for the benefits to mental health.

Daren has been doing triathlon for nearly 10 years and has been coaching the Juniors since 2018. You will find him coaching swimming at RGS on Monday evenings and also the Run/Bike sessions at Ripon Racecourse through the summer.
