Richard (Drilly) Thornton, President
Hi there and a personal welcome to the HK Dragons - the most fun Tri Club in HK - with the best looking kit.
I only started doing tri's a few years back, my first race was an Olympic Distance event in Hong Kong in September 2007.
A friend had put me up to it, I joined the Dragons, and they got me hooked. I did a few of their summer tri events and loved it, for the racing, the fun and the new group of people I had met.
Since then, I have clearly become more involved and with the rest of the Committee, hope to offer all of you an enjoyable atmosphere to train in, with a race calendar to keep all of you entertained throughout the year.
I look forward to meeting you.
Julian Cosgrave, Co-Founder
Since forming the Club with my wife (Shay) and Nerida Rigg (Director of Revolution Asia) back in 2002, we've enjoyed watching the Club grow to a very successful resource for new triathletes in HK. Along the way, our 'Club Mantra' has stayed the same, which is to offer a friendly environment for all levels to race, train and enjoy triathlon together.
After 20 years competing at all distances of triathlon, by far the most rewarding aspect for me is seeing the Club thrive with new members, watching them race in our Club colours and enjoying the fun the Dragons provides.

A recent change of job and family situation has made it hard to get into a good routine for training. (Probably a situation that resonates with lots of Hong-Kongers!) My goal for this season is to maintain consistent training and racing so that I remain competitive in events. We all have our rivals that we need to finish ahead of :)
Mike Maiers, Treasurer and Race Co-ordinator
I have been a member with the Hong Dragons ever since I moved to HK five years ago. Since becoming a member of the committee 3 years ago, I have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming and watching current and new members strive to achieve their personal goals in Triathlon and multisport. I am currently a Personal Trainer and come from a track runners background (400m & 800m) and have loved the transition of becoming a triathlete.

David Gibb, Committee Member
I n 2000, my company convinced me to do the BRW Corporate Triathlon while I was living in Sydney. On a dodgy bike, with no triathlon experience, I agreed to join. Ten years later, I find myself still doing triathlon having covered all race distances and still love the comraderie and sportsmanship that goes with this wonderful sport that we're all involved in.
Grant Kennedy, Committee Member
I am now coming to the end of year two and still learning. This year, I will be attempting my first Half Ironman (Philippines) along with the the Bank of Ching, Hong Kong ITU and Phuket at the end of the year. The thing I like about the Dragons Triathlon Club is that it is a very inclusive bunch of people with a wide range of capabilities.
