Team True Spirit meet Chrissie Wellington and James Cracknell

Over the last couple of weeks the team have been very active around the UK and have met with some of the sporting worlds top stars. At the TCR (triathlon, cycling, running) event the team met with the Ford Ironman World Champion, Chrissie Wellington and chatted about the aims of the team and also about the support the team need.

Chrissie was very enthusiastic and signed books and shirts and wished us all the best:

Just a few days later and Martin and Mark from the team met up with Olympic gold medallist, James Cracknell and Mark showed him what it means to ride a handbike around the Ironman course. James is no stranger to cycling but was very impressed at the level of effort needed.

Mark then showed James pictures of the team training at Headley Court and explained the various sessions that the athletes go through to prepare them for the Ironman race itself.

 

Its fair to say, Team True Spirit have made an impression on two sporting superstars and we thank them for their support and enthusiasm.
