Oliver Cannon - Athlete Ambassador

Oliver is an athlete who has recently taken up cycling. He talks to Sundried about training and racing. 

Have you always been into sport?

No, I started running just under 3 years ago and was immediately addicted. Before this you would never get me out.

How did you first get into triathlon?

I have not done a triathlon but have just started cycling so maybe in the future.

If you are interested in starting your Triathlon journey, Sundried's kit is suitable for beginners as well as seasoned athletes. We have both men's and women's options available. 

What has been your favourite race to date and why?

So far it has been the Hackney Half. Its just got such a great atmosphere and you get spectators all the way round the course calling your name. Its just like a mini London marathon.

What is your proudest achievement?

Completing my first half marathon just 6 months after starting running. I will hopefully be completing London marathonic this year.

Have you ever had any racing disasters?

Not yet.

How do you overcome setbacks?

I just push though and keep going. See friends. Luckily I haven't had any serious injuries or set backs that have stopped me running.

What are your goals?

To complete my first marathon is the immediate goal then I would like to do an ultra.

Who inspires you?

All my friends and the running community as a whole.

Why work with Sundried?

I would like to represent a brand that is looking to the future and is eco-friendly. I like the values the company stands by.
