Deri McCluskey

Age : 18

Coach : Oscar Barbour

Hometown : Llanymynech

Triathlon Background : I did my first triathlon in 2016, but only started training properly in 2022. Before that I ran and swam separately just for fun. I won the Welsh series as a TS3 in 2019 and that made me want to become a professional triathlete. I came through Welsh Tri academy and then Next Gen Cymru after Covid.

Best result/s : 2nd overall in BTSS 2022

Favourite thing about Triathlon : Competing in the red for an hour against other people

Favourite race : BTSS Llanelli

Favourite session : Triple bricks (Bike/Run/Bike/Run/Bike/Run)

Non-Triathlon related fact : My first language is Welsh and I drink at least 4 pints of chocolate milk a day!
