Chris Arnold
Committee Member
​
Chris has been participating in all sorts of different sports from an early age, but at the age of 14 he contracted guillain barre syndrome and was paralyzed for over a year. One of the therapies he was prescribed was cycling and though this discovered a new kind of freedom after being unable to walk. This lead from a few laps around the neighborhood, to competing in ultra bike racing around the UK, 600km bike races, 24hour events and riding from John O’ Groats to Land’s End (1347km) in three days.
His passion for sport lead him to rowing, where he took part in three world championships and the Great London River Race (42km on the River Thames).
In 2000, a chance encounter with an Ultra distance triathlete (who had done the Deca (10x) Ironman Championships), lead to him being involved in the support crew for the inaugural “Trans Australia Foot Race (The race of fire)”. The race involved 65 days of running over 4828km in the middle of summer. This experience changed his life as, it made him decide that the UK was not the place for him. So, after the race he went back to the UK and eight months later made the permanent move to the southern hemisphere.
Chris has participated in Sprint, Olympic, ½ and Full ironman events, and although he is not the fastest, he will never give up (a lesson that he learned lying in a hospital bed starting at the ceiling as a 14-year-old.
