Hywel Davies

More than just a triathlete.  What makes Hywel unique is the versatility to take on and succeed in any challenge that tests mental and physical ability.

Hywel has competed in events ranging from maximal effort powerlifting to 5 day adventure racing and has won national titles in everything in between.  Hywel has won over 20 national fitness competitions and retired from Gym Cross Training events in 2006, undefeated since 1997.

Hywel is the only athlete to ever have held both the team and individual 100km indoor rowing world records and was part of the first british team to ever hold the record in 1997.

Since taking up triathlon, Hywel has won races in every distance from Sprint to Double Ironman and was awarded the 220 Magazine Triathlete of the Year award in 2008.  Having now completed 15 Ironman distance races, including the Hawaii World Championships, Hywel has represented his country in 4 different sports.

Hywel still has unfinished work with triathlon and wants to win a world age group championship before moving on to new challenges.
