Ian Wright

Ian started competing in triathlon in 1986 as a member of the Royal Navy Royal Marines tri team competing in Olympic distance events as well as many sprints. 

Cycling has been apart of his lifestyle since this time covering time trials, road racing, cycle cross and recently enjoying the enthusiasm of the European cycling scene while living in Holland. 

Ian has completed several Ironman Triathlons and has completed the Marathon des Sables 2005.  Ian is now studying for the Federation Fédération Française de Triathlon coaching qualification to allow basic coaching at the centre in the near future.

Ian is the lead guide for cycling and running and will provide a seamless ride or run through the quite roads and stunning trails of the Pyrénées.  The activities will always be tailored for a comfortable pace of the group and as this is a holiday there will be plenty of opportunities to see the sights and take in the French way of life.

Julie Wright 

Julie is a relative newcomer to triathlon but with a decent background of running.  In 2001 Ian entered her into Ironman Germany 2002 so with only 8 months to the race she completed 1 Olympic tri, 1 half Ironman and then the big one. 

Since completing this race she has finished 2 other Ironman races including the most coveted for Triathletes, the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii in 2003.   She has competed in many half marathons and several ultra runs under her belt including a 48Km trail run in Luxembourg and a double marathon in 2005 from Reading to London.  

Julie will be part of all the rides and runs and can take alternative routes for guests who wish to take things a little more gently.  She will also treat you to some of the finest home cooking there is.
