Velkommen Chris

En engelskmann vi trolig ikke vil se i straffeteltet med det første. Hans bakgrunn som fotballdommer kommer sikkert godt med. Vi gleder oss til å hjelpe han med å nå målene sine: London og Oslo triathlon og å lære seg norsk. Velkommen skal du være!

 My name is Chris Jay, a 24 year old Englishman who moved to Norway in 2007.  Live and work in Oslo as a Project Manager for a data-communications company.  I come from a running background having completed numerous half marathon events and two full marathons - Stockholm in 2008 and London in 2009.  Decided to try something new this year hence my decision to move into triathlons!  I have no real experience of swimming or road cycling but I am sure it will be interesting! 

I referee football in the Norwegian 4th Division and I also act as an assistant referee in the 2nd and 3rd divisions.  If I can combine refereeing, triahtlon and learing Norwegian my goals for this year are to get integrated into triathlon as a sport and to gain experience in racing.  My first planned triathlon is the Olympic distance at the London Triathlon with the Sprint distance at Oslo following.  In addition I also aim to run the New York Marathon this year.

A long term goal is to do an Ironman but that is a long way down the line.....  In the mean time I look forward to meeting you all and getting stuck into triathlon training!
