Daniel has been involved in endurance sports, coaching and development for over 10yrs. Initially living the dream as a full-time Academy Soccer Coach in America, Daniel discovered endurance sports – taking on the stunning Hudson Greenway Triathlon in New York.

Some of Daniel’s highlights include 3 x Ironman Wales finishes, 10hr sea swim in Lanzarote, 5hr swim between Cabrera Island and Mallorca and becoming only the 43rd person to complete the Enduroman Arch to Arc, regarded as the hardest triathlon in the world.
Daniel is a fully qualified British Triathlon, UK Athletics and FA Football Coach, British Cycling Ride Leader and a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor.

Daniel
Finishing the hardest triathlon in the world, the Enduroman Arch to Arc.
What is your favorite endurance event?
“Has to be Ironman Wales, tough course but stunning scenery and amazing support.”
What is your favorite ride?
“When training for my first Ironman, I did my 50k commute from Ipswich in Suffolk to Clacton-on-Sea in Essex on my bike. It was hard work, but a great cycle, a route I will always remember and cherish.”
What is your favorite run?
“When I was training for the Enduroman, I took part in a weeks training camp in Lanzarote. One evening, we started a 6hr run at middnight. Yes, it was dark so I didnt see much, but under the moon light, it was one of the memorable, challenging and enjoyable runs I have ever done.”
What is the best advice you have been given?
“Never do something for the first time on race day.
(like change your chain set – which I did!)”
What is your go to pre-ride/run fuel?
“For me, its standard, three weetabix with hot water, bagel with peanut butter and jam.”
Why did you start OnVenture?
“As the saying goes, do something you love and will never work a day in your life. Training for endurance events has been a big part of my life the past 10yrs with long and hard miles on the road and in the water. At OnVenture, I want to take all those experiences and deliver truly memorable weekend breaks in what I beleive is the untapped resource for Suffolk”
