Tamsin Lewis, Hi all! I'm a 28 year old Doc who is thrilled to be given the chance to further her triathlon ambitions. The London Tri was my first Olympic distance last year and I was enthused my finishing 7th woman overall. Being a doctor, its hard to fit it all in - but It would be great to have some help & direction from the Herbalife team. My dad was a pro cyclist in his day, so think the will to win is set in my blood. I'm looking forward to some good racing in 2008. Thanks for voting Age: 28 |

Nick Clements, I came to triathlon last season with no particular experience of the three disciplines. I soon realised that here was something I really enjoyed and that with the right guidance I could do well at. The academy can help me develop the skills to compete successfully at the highest level. Age: 28 |
