This week we welcomed local triathlete, Dan, to Collective Worship.  Dan competes in Ironman events, which consists of a 3.8km swim, followed by a 180km bike ride and finishing with a 42.2km run. He shared how resilience is a key part of his training. We learnt all about how much training he does each day and the kit he uses. The children asked some really thoughtful questions, including "how long do the races take?" (8-12 hours) and "what inspired you to take up triathlon?" (The Brownlee brothers).
Dan is currently in training for the European Championships in Sweden this July. If you would like to find out more and support him on his journey please take a look at his LinkedIn account (dan lightfoot - aspiring professional middle-distance triathlete).
