Chairperson / PJ Hopper

PJ joined Windrush Tri, with a couple of years' triathlon experience, when he moved back to South London in 2020. He's passionate about building on the club's previous work to grow a diverse membership and to be a place where anyone feels welcome to come and swim, bike and/or run. As a talkative Northerner, he enjoys spending time catching up over coffee and cake (mid-ride or post-swim) with old club hands and new members.

Secretary / Hamish Grant

Hamish has been a member of the club since 2019.  Post lockdown, he has completed a varied mix of swim/bike/run challenges.  He is passionate about helping continue the positive contribution the club makes to the local community, and expand the diversity of the club.

Treasurer / Simon Sowerby

Simon has been doing triathlon for five years and joined Windrush 2 years ago. He’s raced all distances and also enjoys running on its own. 

Welfare Officer / Liz Curwen

Liz has been Windrush's welfare officer since November 2022 and a member of Windrush since 2014.

She'd done a couple of triathlons before joining but has found the camaraderie and support that comes from belonging to Windrush is what motivates her to keep signing up!

As Welfare officer, Liz helps the club ensure it adheres to its safeguarding responsibilities and hopes to also provide a friendly ear or face, happy to have a chat with any member having a tough time.

Please reach out to welfare@windrushtri.co.uk if you need to.

Membership Secretary / Mark Gardiner

Having pedalled his way through childhood on the back of a tandem, and completed Reading Half Marathon in 2016, Mark finally ran out of excuses not to attempt a triathlon.

Mark joined Windrush in July 2019 after moving to London to pursue his career in renewable energy, and is a regular at the excellent coached swimming sessions to improve his doggy paddle!

Head Coach / Becky Goodwin

Becky found triathlon in late 2015 and hasn’t looked back, since having competed in local races to age group championships. She loves every part of the sport especially the transition leg and thinks that Windrusher’s are the best support crew as well as the ones to race against with lots of fun, cheers and smiles!

Aquathlon Director / Matt Curry

Matt joined Windrush in 2016 after signing up to a half ironman with no prior experience. Matt has gone on to compete in local races and age group championships and is an active member of the club. He previously undertook the role of Social Secretary between 2017 - 2019 and directed the Windrush Falling Leaves Duathlon at Lee Valley VeloPark in 2018 and 2019. 

Matt is a construction Project Management consultant by trade who wants to create the most diverse and inclusive Aquathlon event to date.

IT Officer / Russell Speechley

Russell is the IT Officer and is responsible for monitoring the various Windrush Triathlon websites.

He has been a member of Windrush since 2014 and has taken part in various triathlons and cycle events, mainly focusing on the two wheeled events of late. He welcomes any suggestions for how the websites can be improved.

Marketing Officer / Michael Keane

Michael has been doing triathlons on and off since 2011 but has been taking it more seriously over the last two years. He is hoping to qualify for the Ironman World championships. 

As marketing officer, he and the team hope to raise the public profile of the Windrush Triathlon Club and keep members informed of the wide range of activities that the club is involved in.

Junior Coordinator / Gareth Roberts

Gareth caught the triathlon bug in 2022 and hasn't looked back. He's passionate about the positive power of sport, and hopes to encourage as many young people as possible to try out tri!

His role as Junior Coordinator is to run the junior division of the club: coordinate training sessions, races, and help the juniors (and parents!) have as much fun as possible through triathlon.
