My Sponsors

KX Gym

The people at KX gym are proud to boast that many of their members have not bathed at home for months. Such is the pristine cleanliness of this epicurean fitness centre's changing rooms, the clinical efficiency of its laundry service (you leave your sweaty kit in a locker and it will be washed and pressed, ready for your next visit) and the unrelenting force of its Korean riot-police-strength power showers, that many KX clients actually prefer them to their own bathrooms at home. KX Gym is a private members gym in Chelsea. KX (it's pronounced 'kicks') is a cut above your normal gym. Less a health club and more a second home. www.kxgym.co.uk

Name On Kit .com

It does exactly what it says on the tin! Well nearly Name on Kit is a bespoke printing service allowing athlete's the chance to get a one off bespoke piece of kit for their triathlon racing. Having your name, sponsor logo or country code on your kit allows you to race looking like a pro, who knows it may help you go that little bit quicker, well at least you will get more support! It certainly makes my life easier having a fast and efficient print service even though I require a one off or small run of kit for my racing. www.nameonkit.com

The ultimate complement to a lightweight frame is top quality lightweight components Roger and Rory at USE have them all from seat posts to stems and handlebars to the all new tri bars for 2007, beautifully engineered for stunning performance. www.use1.com

Exposure Lights

Exposure Lights are the lightest full production cable free sports lights available on the planet! They are fantastic, I use these all winter long, I am not restricted to training during the short day light hours in the winter months, I night ride both on and off road these lights are second to none for ease of use and performance. The joystick is especially good as it fits both a helmet and onto your bars and is so small and light you only know it is there because it so bright! www.exposurelights.com

Sundog eyewear

Another new addition to my team of supporters is the Canadian Sunglass company Sundog. With 23 years experience in the industry and an amazing collection of shades for all occasions and sports from Multi- Sport through to Golf, Sundog will never let you down. I have a very narrow face and it is difficult to find sunglass to fit my features, however, sundog has come up trumps with several pairs that provide total vision with total comfort. www.sundogeyewear.com
