This week I’m returning to the “Legends of British triathlon” theme as I interview Richard Hobson.  When I started in triathlon back in 1987 Richard was beginning his own triathlon career (although at a significantly higher level than me) and it was interesting to watch him progress in a short period of time to the very top of the tree in the UK.  Over the years I have come to know Richard much better and to this day he is a true inspiration. Still a very fit guy and busy running his training camps and holiday business in France, and along with his wife Dorte they are parents to two very talented athletic boys.

I really enjoyed this catch-up and we revisited many triathlon topics from the 80’s and 90’s including:

• How Richard made the transition from windsurfing to triathlon

If you want to find out more about what Richard is up to these days or if you would like to book a holiday at his venue in France here are some links
