Legends of British Triathlon * Simon Ward and Steve Trew

In some recent podcasts, I have been reminiscing with guests about the ‘early’ years, way back in the 80’s and 90’s. These conversations proved more popular than I imagined so I have decided to create a parallel podcast series called "Legends of British Triathlon". My guest today was one of the pioneers of the sport in the UK.

 

Since completing his first triathlon, Steve Trew has forged a career based around triathlon - as a journalist writing for triathlon running and cycling magazines, having 2 triathlon fiction books published, coaching and commentating for the BBC. He’s been there, seen it and done it all, and I’m delighted that he could join me today as we chat about a whole range of subjects including: 

• The catalyst behind Steve’s first ever triathlon in 1983
• How Steve’s swim/run background set him up perfectly for triathlon
• What Steve would do differently if he was starting out in triathlon today
• Writing the world's first ever triathlon fiction book
• Steve’s ground breaking triathlon camps in Malta which ran for 17 years
• Commentating for the BBC at the Olympic Games

If you'd like to contact Steve you may email trew@peorsnalbest.demon.co.uk.  You can find him on Facebook, Steve Trew, or check out details on his Training Camp in Italy via his Facebook page at Annual Personal Best Triathlon Camp, Cesenatico, Italy.
