About Me

Mid-30s London-based triathlete, endurance sports coach, and sports massage therapist. I as a sport and remedial massage therapist - www.richardguysportsmassage.co.uk. I race in triathlons. I've finished 4 Ironman distance triathlons (2.4 mile swim/112 mile bike/ 26.2 mile run) and run 9 marathons as well as finishing many other races. In 2007 I raced for GB at the European Long Course Championships. I also went to the World Long Course Championships as one of the team masseurs in 2007 & 2008. I'm the co-founder of Iron-Head Racing - www.ironheadracing.co.uk.I can be really moody at times but usually I'm alright. I have a very twisted, sarcastic sense of humour. I can be really cynical. I should probably get out more. I listen to a lot of music and don't watch much television. Bands I really like are Killing Joke, The Fall, Einsturzende Neubauten plus many more. I like tattoos and Sims Tattoos do a mighty fine job.
