James Gerber

My triathlon journey started in November 2019, two months before East London 70.3. I had decided to challenge myself and do something I never thought I could. After 6hrs17 I finished the race and have been hooked on triathlons ever since. Triathlon has taught me many life lessons in such a short space of time. The main lesson being that a strong team is vital in order to achieve anything. I am all about building powerful relationships and always giving of my best. My life motto is "Look the dog in the eye". It is from a movie that got me into the sport and made me realise I have so much to give. Triathlon is an individual sport, but I would be nowhere without my team - and can't wait to hopefully be apart of yours!
