UNDERDOG ATTEMPTING TO BREAK THE WORLD HOUR RECORD
I am amateur athlete from Northern Ireland, currently I hold the 50 and 100 mile Irish time trial records. But I have now set my sights on a much bigger record - the World Hour Record. This is considered the most prestigious record in cycling, it is the furtherest distance cycled in one hour on an indoor track. Currently the record is held by Victor Campenaerts (55.089km) , who recently pipped Sir Bradley Wiggins (54.526km) a true legend of the sport! I will be attempting to better this distance in Aguascalientes, Mexico in September.
I am very humbled to have one of the best coaches in the world - Andy Sparks, prepare me for my attempt. Under the guidance of Andy his athletes have won 15 World Championship titles and 5 Olympic medals. The unwavering belief and support of a coach of Andy's calibre is a testament to my untapped potential. I am currently based in Colorado Springs under the watchful eye of Andy, he has so much faith in my ability that he has coached me for free and given me accommodation here. This is a fantastic training environment and 6 months out we are exactly where we need to be physically.
However, in order to make this dream become a reality I am calling for the support of you kind people who believe in never backing down from achieving your dreams! Money for equipment, track time, hiring of officials, travel etc. will ultimately decide if this once in a lifetime project is a go or not. So if you can spare anything and believe in this true underdog story, please reach out and I will be eternally grateful!
This is the ultimate underdog story, but one that is certainly possible with your help!
