On Episode 87 we welcome Dean Culshaw, a British Agegroup Triathlete who did his first triathlon back in 1983 over in the Middle East, where he was working at the time.
Dean came from a sporting background, trying and doing anything that was available, but it was Rugby league that was his main focus. He played up until he was in his thirties.
When life got in the way, Dean focused on running and with a plan and a goal completed the London Marathon.
Dean did his next triathlon again out in the Middle East and it was during research into training and what was happening in the world of triathlon he discovered agegroup competition.
