Tom Sturdy

Professional Triathlete

Profile:
Tom started triathlon when he joined the students club at Loughborough University where he was studying Aeronautical Engineering.  He was instantly and completely hooked

Tom is now competing in triathlon at a professional level and focussing on middle distance events to make the most of his strong bike leg.  He also enjoys racing over the Olympic distance races which are so well represented in the UK.  Last season injury forced Tom to put his long distance goals on hold whilst he had good success winning the UK's Olympic distance national ranking series.  In 2011, following a winter of solid work in the Brecon Beacons Tom is looking forward to returning to longer distance racing and will be competing in the European events of the Ironman 70.3 series as well as having a good go at some newer events like the tri-star "111's".

Testimonial:
“Before my triathlon days I dabbled in quite a few sports:  I competed at national level slalom kayaking, county level running, adventure racing, alpine climbing and whilst not really a sport I spent a fair amount of time on expeditions across Europe (including a decent spell in the arctic).  It was on one of these adventures that I first discovered Buff products and I have not considered anything else since!

My favourite Buff product is the Polar Buff:  I could also list this one as my least favourite but only because it leaves me with no excuse not to just 'get on with it' when the bitter cold sets in!  Toasty warm (even in the wet), breathable and windproof. The perfect tool to keep you riding through the British winter!”
