Thomas Bishop – Professional Triathlete

Athlete

Tom Bishop is a Long Course Professional Triathlete with a lot of experience. “Having raced internationally as a short course athlete for over 13 years, I decided to make the switch to middle and long-distance racing at the end of 2022. It took me a season to get into the swing of racing and managed to finish my 2023 season ranked just outside the top 30 world rankings. I have big goals for 2024. Last season was frustrating with me as I had a bit of bad luck in my final 3 races, but I’m determined to prove to myself that I can be competitive with some of the best athletes in the world. I will target some middle-distance races at the beginning of the season and build towards some full distance races by the summer. I’m excited to be partnering with OTE. Nutrition is a key component to triathlon performance and OTE supply some of the best products on the market.”
