Course: 2nd year Physio

Hi everyone I’m Ben and I’m your welfare sec for this year!

Before coming to uni I dabbled in all three sports and then decided to join the tri club which was the best decision I made. From poorly attempted Beer Miles to karaoke cycles/runs in Majorca I loved every bit of last year. I’m excited to organise some club charity fundraisers and to continue to make the tri club a friendly and welcoming environment into next year, so I will be here for any queries you may have and just to be someone you can talk to.

Look forward to seeing you all soon!

Role: Club Captain

NAME: Tom Paskin

pronouns: He/him

Course: Psychology with Placement, 4th year

After some very amateur running through lockdown, I joined UoNTri in my second year and haven’t looked back. This club has helped me develop so much as an athlete and pushed me to complete my first sprint and standard distance triathlon as well as securing my first race win (Backyard Tri 🏆).

I hope to maintain this supportive environment for all abilities in the club so we can all smash some PBs in all disciplines in the new year. 💚💛

Course: Law, 3rd year

Triathlon is a big part of my life so the first and only thing I did at the freshers fair in first year was to march up to the triathlon stand to ask how I could join the club (no joke). I owe some of my favourite memories at uni to UoN tri and I am looking forward to get back to the club sessions and of course socials!! See you in October 💚💛

Role: events Secretary

pronouns: He/him

Course: Chemical and Environmental Engineering

Hi everyone, I’m Jamie! I started tri when I was a silly fresher (and a big liability). My favourite part of the club is the weekends away to events at other unis, where I have made many great (and embarrassing) memories. I would also say Ocean Friday nights but usually don’t remember these. I will put on a range of fun, inclusive events and competitions for all abilities, so I’m excited for you to see what I have to offer

Hello everyone! My name is Naomi and this year I am your publicly sec! I’m sure excited for this job because it means I get to share all the amazing things people in this club get up to and share the Tri love! Joining UoN Tri was the BEST decision I made eat uni, because I found the nicest group of (sometimes slightly bonkers people) and there’s something here for everyone! So, if you’re a triathlon pro, or a total newbie like I was, there’s a place for you and if you’re thinking about joining us you absolutely should!!
