I was first introduced to the exciting sport of triathlon when I was employed by the City of Salford to act as official photographer for the 2004 World Cup. As well as covering international, regional and local events I have provided elite athletes including Michelle Dillon ,Stuart Pip Taylor, Emma Snowsill, Liz Blatchford (and many others) with images for their websites, sponsors and to illustrate articles for Triathlon magazines and tri- ezine websites. I also provide triathlon images for a number of event companies for commercial and editorial use.

ITU World Cup Triathlon , Salford

The Salford course is very popular with world class athletes as it is a beautiful setting in the regenerated dockland area of the city and mostly flat. The ITU , the sports governing body, have elected to let Salford host the event since 2003. The Salford Tri is set at what is know as the "Olympic" distance, namely a 1.5 km swim in the impressive Huron basin, a 40 km bike ride and then a 10km run. It also is host simultaneously, to "all age races" which involve hundreds of club and amateur athletes making it an incredible event to either watch or participate in. After a year off through the Olympics, Salford will host the race in July 2009, (date as yet to be confirmed.)
