William Rooke’s triathlon journey began unexpectedly after reading about Lucy Charles-Barclay in 2016. Intrigued, he dove into the sport, bought his first bike, and completed his first sprint triathlon two years later. In 2019, he hired a coach and raced his first 70.3 at Whistler. Now, he’s working toward being competitive in his age group at the 2025 70.3 World Championships in Marbella.

His advice? “Find what works for you—don’t stress the small things.” Between races, William enjoys film photography, capturing moments on his training rides, and experiencing the thrill of developing his shots. With a packed season ahead, he’s ready to take on new challenges and push his limits on the world stage.
