My name is Ben Bishop, I am 17 years old and am a Junior National level triathlete in South East Triathlon Academy. I am writing to you regarding a business proposition involving Corley Cycles as I would like to represent your brand all over the country in the National Triathlon Super Series and the castle triathlon series in return for sponsorship in the form of a bike.

My main goals this triathlon season is to get top 20 in the national super series and to do well in my 3 longer distance races I have planned and some bike circuit races.  I am currently coached by Huw Williams at Cadence Performance Cycles and ride for Charlotteville CC.  I run with Aldershot Farnham District Athletics Club and I achieved 10th position in the Hampshire Cross County League and I was selected to represent Surrey and the UK Counties Cross Country Championship in Loughborough in March.  Finally, I swim 8 hours a week with Guildford City Swimming club.

Race CV from 2016 onwards:

As you can see I am a frequent racer and these are just my personal results that I am most proud of, I feel like my training at the moment is going very well and have made dramatic improvements in my ability all around. I think that I would be able to represent your brand very well across the national, regional and international triathlon and multi sport scene as well as local up to national bike racing.

My season is looking jam packed this year and I have entered 11-13 triathlon races and hope to be selected for some international races.  I really hope to be representing you this season and think that having me onboard with your race team will increase the knowledge of your brand across the UK and abroad.
