Adam Stroud

President

Where you’re originally from: Essex, UK. I’ve lived half my life her in the shire now.
How did you get into triathlon: I’m from a cycling background but following a few years of inactivity after a major cycling accident in 2007 a friend who was getting into Triathlon encouraged me to join the club and try triathlon.
Races you have completed: My first tiathlon was 15 years ago, I’ve completed in over 100 races starting with club races through to Ironman, and a couple of multisport world championship representing my adopted country of Australia.
What are your goals for the CTC Club: My goal is to celebrate the club’s rich history, and to ensure greater engagement of past, present and future members. Sporting clubs offer a great community of diverse backgrounds, we can all learn a lot from each other through competing, mateship, love, tolerance and respect, and I want to be part of building that holestic community for future generations to enjoy these lifelong benefits. The upside is you’ll get back from that community, at least whatever you are prepared to give.
