It was great to hear Jo Lewis share her story into multisport.

She says " I am fast approaching my Seventies decade and loving the continuing challenge of staying Fit and on top of my sporting game, as well as travelling to many International events to support my athletes and meet up with my friends of many years to compete with a Smile and humour!

My sporting background goes back many, many years - I loved all the team games at school - swimming, tennis, netball, hockey, cross country running, and athletics (hurdles!)……….. This passion has continued down the decades with swimming and running becoming my Favourites for many years, enabling me to qualify for the GB Age Group Teams in 2004 in both Aquathlon and Sprint/Standard Triathlons.  

Here I am 20 years on still competing for GB at Aqua Bike (Middle Distance) and with a strong desire to requalify for GB Aquathlon as my “grumbling” knee has been behaving itself recently, thanks to consistent Strength and SMART training.  My events this year will be Qualifiers for the 70-74 Age Group - I can’t wait!

My sport has enabled and encouraged me to work my way up the coaching ladder, from swim coaching in the 1980’s to BTF Level 3, which prompted me to set up a few businesses over the years - Ducklings to Dolphins Swim School in Reading, which is still running 35 years on, and Tri50, a Triathlon coaching business for the over 50’s!!  

My Triathlon coaching has inspired me to maintain my fitness levels, as I fully appreciate competing at my age is more about maintaining a healthy outlook on Life, and staying injury free. 

 I have been very fortunate in winning many International and European medals along the way, I think my tally is 12!!  A few more would be welcome, I will apply my coaching knowledge and experience to help this happen!!  Am keen to continue competing well into my my 70’s as a Fit Old Bird ………… "

Thanks for sharing Jo
