Great to Chat to Mark Saggers for the latest episode of our pod. Mark got in touch via e mail and wrote:
My name is Mark Saggers and I am 59 years young. I move into the 60-64 Age Cat in 2024. I live in Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffordshire, having settled here in 2017 after leaving the RAF following 34 years service. I now work for Leidos UK Defence division basically as an MOD logistics contractor - it’s busy!
I started multisport in 2002 after becoming frustrated during a military training course that involved running and swimming. I’d be the fastest runner but slowest swimmer virtually drowning actually
I’ve race for RAF Triathlon for many years but now represent Newcastle Staffs Tri Club (NTC).
I’ve had some UK age group success, with some national podiums and a win at the 2011 National Middle Distance Tri champs at Emberton Park (yes, I know Jon Cowell!).
I’ve had some RAF representation also. Dabbled at Ironman distance, winning my age group at the 2014 Outlaws event. Races in Almere at the 2008 World Long Dist Championships and survived an aweful 4K swim to do well on the bike/run.
Went through some turmoil after leaving the RAF and that impacted my multisport ambitions - but I kept going.
Now focusing on Duathlon as I lost my swim mojo during COVID. Had a rejuvenated 2023 by getting in some balances training and qualified for the European Sprint Duathlon Champs at Darley Moor. Ran a 37:31 10k, 18:09 5k and a 57:46 25 mile bike TT. Now want to minimise the decline in performance as I age! That’s why I started the YouTube channel described below.
Started a YouTube Duathlon channel recently to document my training as I target the British standard distance duathlon champs on 24 Marc 24. It’s called Just Du It! Link: https://youtube.com/@sagsdothedu?si=JeWLMIBRHS9Jy5r3
