Wiltshire-based Nathan Morgan represented Great Britain Age Group Triathlon team at the European Middle Distance Aquabike Championships in Bilbao.
Placing seventh in his category and second among Team GB, Nathan has been offered a place representing his country in the 2023 event.
Originally selected for the twice-postponed 2020 Championships, Nathan has been working with the team at Swindon's Kube Medical to manage training injuries and optimise his performance for the upcoming event.
Kube Medical works with youth and adult athletes at the elite and sub-elite levels.
Its team of chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, sports therapists and massage therapists helps athletes with recovery and rehabilitation, as well as helping them to stay in peak condition for competition.
After retiring from rugby five years ago, Nathan turned his focus to Triathlon. Already capable in all three disciplines, his physical transformation paid huge dividends in his speed around the course.
He said: “Racing is all about efficiency. Too much weight can slow you down, particularly on the bike and while running.
“My times have really improved as I’ve trained to become leaner. I’ve also been working with my sponsors, Kube Medical, to address my biomechanical issues.”
After a steady swim, Morgan came out of the water 13th in his category. In treacherous cycling conditions, he reeled in several competitors to finish seventh in a time of 3 hours, 1 minute and 25 seconds.
His result is enough to secure a spot in next year’s event, alongside the World Championship Standard Distance Triathlon place he secured earlier this season.
Kube Medical is based in Cheney Manor, and information about its services can be found at website is www.kubemedical.co.uk
