OLYMPIC TRIATHLETE

Marc Jenkins: Husband, Father, 0lympian

BUT NOT A POLITICIAN… Yet!

Who Am I?

Hi, I’m Marc Jenkins-

I am a Husband, a father, an old Olympic Triathlon athlete, a sports fan, a fan of anyone working hard and striving for success, a surfer, a surf lifesaver, and proudly Welsh and British.

I've won multiple British Triathlon titles and competed for Great Britain in European and World Championships, finishing in the top 15 Worldwide. I've also podiumed in World Ranking Events, including a win in Swansea (I trained out of The National Pool Wales, Swansea) and Podiumed at Triathlon World Cup events.

I competed in the second Olympic triathlon at the 2004 Summer Olympics. I was the last man to finish because of a collision during the cycling leg that left my bicycle unusable. Rather than quit, I ran 2km with the bike on my shoulders to be able to finish the race, ending forty-fifth of the fifty who started. My time was 2:05:33.60.

I married fellow Olympic triathlete Helen Tucker in October 2008. I coached Helen to three World Titles and three Olympic games: Beijing 2008, London 2012, and Rio 2016.

I always aim to be me, but if you want a “career politician” as your representative, that’s probably not me.
