IRONMAN WALES - What an honour it was to treat those amazing men and women who took part in this incredible test of stamina, focus and determination. I was one of a team of only four, who helped these athletes stay on their feet, on completion of the event and, hopefully, put them on the road to a relatively comfortable recovery. Sadly, four therapists was not enough, and I’m sure many athletes missed out on a post race treatment. Sports therapists - Lee Gibbons, Julie Barritt, Lloyd Davies, and myself, all worked their fingers to the bone. It was a pleasure to meet them, and an experience I hope to undertake again next year.
