TEAM HALO ID
Don
Tim
I have been a fan of all sports especially endurance from the early 90’s. If I was not mountain biking or cycling, I was running, hiking or swimming every day. I found Triathlon at my local outdoor swimming pool in Hampton where I grew up, there was a Triathlon club ‘Thames Turbo’ who trained there 2 times a week and was open to anyone to join, so that’s what I did. I loved the club coached sessions and community of triathletes from the start, I was hooked.
​
By the time I was 14 I had represented Great Britain internationally at a youth level and well the rest is history…I turned Professional in 1997 and am still racing Professionally today and loving it just as much as I did way back then, I have raced from the super sprint Arena games right up to Xtri (non-supported Ironman) and everything in between, from swim/run races, adventure racing, team racing, relays you name it I have had a go. I have lived on 3 continents Europe, Africa and North America following the dream of that perfect race, and an endless summer to get the most out of my training.
​
I now see myself as more of a custodian of the sport. It has given me so much, beyond my wildest dreams the adventure, friendships, life experiences, self-belief in pushing my body and mind, the wins, the broken bones. Now I want to pass on all my knowledge and experience I have gained on my journey with everyone in halo ID. How fast you go is not important but moving forward is, and learning along the way to finding your NEXT LEVEL.

I started in sport in the late 80s, where I was a very keen MTB rider travelling across the UK to race. Whilst MTB was my passion, I did a fair road races as part of training and soon realised that it was a passion for two wheels. I was very fortunate when I was younger to be surrounded by some great people and coaches, who pushed me to be consistent and just throw myself into the sport.
​
I spent a considerable time in Mallorca on training camps, and was fortunate to live there for a while riding my bike before joining the RAF in 95'. The RAF was extremely supportive for anyone that did sport, so this was the perfect job for me. My first triathlon was Ironman Nice, France - not the normal gateway to triathlon but I am sucker for a challenge. This was the the start of my
passion for triathlon. During my time in the RAF, I raced all over the world as an Age Group Athlete and became the RAF Triathlon Performance Director. I was heavily involved with British Triathlon as a Team Manager for 12 Years.
​
Having raced across all distances my passion for the
sport has just went from strength to strength. I thoroughly enjoy helping and mentoring athletes to better
themselves and achieve their goals. Outside of the Halo I am CEng day job, and also the Performance Director &
Age Group Director for Triathlon Scotland.
​
Our community is to share experiences, create lasting friendships and be better today than yesterday. Together we are passionate about taking you to that NEXT LEVEL.
