Previous Life

Jez:
"I have been so blessed to live a massively enriched life through sport and it gives me great pleasure to share a bit of that journey with you here.
I stopped racing in 2014 having started in 1992 and was lucky enough to carve out a long career as a sportsman which has saw me race as a professional, win 81 races and become British number one."

I started my sporting life as a 13 year old racing Cyclo-Cross in West London and went on to become an Elite road cyclist racing cyclist competing across Europe and occasionally further. In 2003 I had a change of direction and began racing Duathlon and with a lot of hard work and many blessings I went on to become the UK number 1 ranked Duathlete and along the way have won more Duathlons than any other athlete in the history of the sport worldwide. 

None of these opportunities would have been possible without some very important people in my life.
They are: Graham MacNamee, Tilman Marsh, my lovely Mum, Jamie Pringle, Peter Dymoke, Pete Swettenham
Leda Ray ,Tom Rowan, Matt Brown and Jesus.
( just not necessarily in that order! )
