Riggotts transport manager Dave Corringham represents Great Britain in the Trathlon at the AWAD European Games

Dave Corringham, Riggotts transport manager, is to represent Great Britain in the European Games for Athletes With A Disability (AWAD) in Lisbon in May 2008

Dave will represent Great Britain in the Standard Distance Triathlon Event, held on 11th May.  The event comprises a 1 mile swim, followed by a 40km cycle race, followed by a 10km run.  Dave flies out to Lisbon on May 8th, giving him a whole 2 days to acclimatise himself.

Dave lost his left arm at the shoulder in a road accident in 1986.  Always a keen runner, following the accdient he took up swimming as a challenge, joking at the time that he would just go around in circles !.  Always looking for new challenges, Dave's next mission was to master cycling, which he has managed exceedingly well - despite being knocked off recently by a White Van Man on the A1!

Dave trains regularly with Retford Wheelers cycling club, Retford Athletics club, and Retford Swimming club.

Dave has also won sponsorship for his efforts from TriUK

Dave is a member of both the England and Great Britain AWAD squad.  He will also be competing in the triathlon event at the GB national championships at Rother Valley in June this year.

We hope you will join us in wishing Dave every success at Lisbon and Rother Valley.
