Another great story shared by an inspiring everyday athlete.

Mal Smith got in touch after speaking to a former guest, John Armstrong, recommended he got in touch to share his story.

Mal states"Im a triathlete at  Cleethorpes Tri Club and along with my 18 year old son Callum, we’ve qualified this year to race the standard distance in Torremolinos.

I’m also a PTS5 ParaTriathlete  and it was the knock on effect of training for the British Super Series (finishing second at the British ParaTri champs) that brought my times down last year to qualify at Sunderland.

I got into triathlon after a lifetime of proving to myself that I could do whatever I set my mind too…and so after a number of years obstacle course racing and running multiple marathons, Ironman became the next target!  Triathlon then changed my life and continues to do so, as I realised just what is possible!

I’d love to raise the profile of Para Triathlon but also highlight that just because you may have a physical impairment it doesn’t stop you from taking part in our fantastic sport!

I can’t wait to represent GB in October as part of the age group team!
