My name is Tom and you\u2019ll likely see a bit of my work on the Mywindsock blog and social media channels over the next few weeks, months and maybe beyond if I do a good job.

This year, I even managed to race at a couple of championships as an elite athlete for GB which was very exciting. I did not fare particularly well. I have five interests in my life, swimming, cycling, running, working, eating. It sounds kind of boring when you put it like that, but I have fun all the same. I&#8217;ve been lucky enough that my work, and triathlon, has taken me to some amazing places and my intention is for this to carry on as long as possible &#8211; but now I shall do so with the best weather forecasts in the business! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"849\" src=\"https:\/\/mywindsock.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SwimExit-1024x849.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mywindsock.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SwimExit-1024x849.png 1024w, https:\/\/mywindsock.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SwimExit-300x249.png 300w, https:\/\/mywindsock.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SwimExit-768x637.png 768w, https:\/\/mywindsock.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SwimExit-1200x995.png 1200w, https:\/\/mywindsock.com\/page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SwimExit.png 1486w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This winter, I plan to take up mountain biking, as well as spending a bit of time bike packing &#8211; I know for this, mywindsock forecasts will come in very handy helping me with route and tyre selection!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions, corrections or anything you want to ask me you can drop me an email at tom.epton@mywindsock.com or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tom_epton_\/?hl=en\">follow me on Instagram<\/a> and send a DM!
