Ellie White

Age : 24 

Coach : Oscar Barbour

Hometown : Nottingham

Triathlon Background: I grew up in Nottingham as a swimmer until I found a passion for triathlon. At the age of 13 I got into the East Midlands Regional Academy and began competing in the British Super Series. I moved to Cardiff to train with the NTPCW squad in 2017, when I started my Product Design Degree at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Since then, I have progressed from top 10s to top 5s and a podium at BSS races and gained my first top 8 in a European Cup this year. 

Best result/s : 8th Rezseow European Cup 

Favourite thing about Triathlon : Seeing the progression through training consistently and being able to translate that in executing a solid race performance I am proud of. 

Best thing about training at the centre : Training with a small group of like-minded athletes with similar aspirations and goals and having an individualised training plan that helps me achieve my goals. 

Favourite race : Dunkirk French Grand Prix

Favourite session : A long build run session from LT1 to Hard.

Non-Triathlon related fact : I could have been tall if things were a little different, but now I just have one leg longer than the other.
