He swam multiple times a week for a local club (Carnforth Otters) but never showed much talent. By age 16 he fell away from sports. Wilf began training for a triathlon in his 3rd & final year of uni (2017) to keep himself busy in his spare time by joining the local Tri club (Wrecsam Tri). He was seeing massive improvements session by session giving Wilf the drive to keep training harder and harder. Seeing improvement is still what drives him today. Looking back on his progress over these years Ben  has completely evolved as an athlete. Wilf says he could never have imagined what he would have achieved already and he is  looking forward to seeing what he can do in the future.​So far Wilfs palmares is as follows2022Ironman 70.3 World Champs – 1st M25-29Ironman 70.3 Stafford – 1stIronman 70.3 Swansea – 1st (AG Overall)Ironman Full UK – 4th (2nd M25-29)World & European Middle Distance Duathlon Championships – 1st (AG Overall)British Standard Distance Duathlon Championships – 2ndWelsh Duathlon Championships – 1st2021​British Standard Distance Duathlon Championships – 1stHelvellyn Triathlon – 1stWelsh Middle Distance Championships – 1stEnglish Standard Distance Duathlon Championships – 2nd​2020UK Bike Everesting RecordHorwich Triathlon - 3rd OverallHelvellyn Triathlon -1st none Elite/Pro Epicman Windermere (70.3) - 2nd​2019Alpe d'Huez Triathlon - 46 Overall (2nd in Age Group, 3rd British Athlete) Helvellyn Triathlon - 2nd OverallWirral Triathlon - 2nd OverallChrik Triathlon - 3rd OverallRuthin Triathlon - 1st Overall and New Course RecordNorth Wales Cyclocross League Champion 2019/2020​2018Helvellyn Triathlon - 3rd OverallRuthin Triathlon - 1st OverallSouthport Triathlon - ITU Standard Distance Triathlon World Championships qualificationNorth Wales Cyclocross League 2018/2019 - 1st Senior​2017Epicman - 13th OverallWilf is now pursuing racing in the pro ranks.
