European traithlon win for MWR-sponsored Chris

Congratulations to Chris Joyce, a sports-mad doctor who has won the ‘sprint’ event in the 20-24 men’s age group at this month’s European Triathlon Championships in Athlone, Ireland.

MWR sponsored Chris to pay for a coach as part of his stamina and endurance training. His long-term ambition is to represent Britain in the senior elite triathlon team.

Altaf Patel, partner at MWR said: “It is clear Chris is a very dedicated athlete and after watching him train on a regular basis, he has the talent to achieve his ambition to become a successful professional, elite triathlete”

During his training, Joyce, who also has a Sports and Science degree, is also aiming to become a full-time sports doctor. He will begin work at the Royal Preston Hospital this summer.
