ATHLETES >

Chris McCarthy

Having been slightly above-average at a number of sports I was determined to push for excellence when turning to Duathlon and achieve the age-group GBR vest i’ve always wanted. A strong coach-athlete relationship is fundamental to most successful athletes and with Annie – the 2005 World Number one ranked duathlete – I’m clearly on to a great thing.

The sessions are well thought out and Annie has taken the time to ensure my other commitments are taken into consideration. I’m already feeling stronger after just a few weeks. It’s more than just the training plans, however.

Annie is always there for advice, support and to stop me when I constantly berate myself for riding like a fat man on a donkey! The support from Team Dillon in general has been superb – I feel like every angle of my sport is being covered. I’m definitely in the right place to achieve my goals.
