Chairperson - Chris Nicoll
chair@atderbytriathlonclub.co.uk
After years of competition cycling and running I first competed in a triathlon in 1997 but it really began to take over my life from 2002, joining DTC in 2006. I’ve competed in all distances to Ironman and love traveling abroad to race. Highlights include DTC club trips to Alpe Duez Tri, Mallorca 70.3 and Challenge Peguera, plus the 70.3 World Champs, and World Duathlon Champs in Australia and elsewhere.
I have been part of the DTC committee in various roles for much of the last 10 years and have a keen interest in coaching and event organisation.
I have been involved in various sports organisations over the years and recognise how sports clubs rely on their volunteers and the efforts of individual members to make them inclusive and a success for all.

Since Joining DTC in 2012 I have had various roles on and of the committee. These include Co-Chair, Chair, Vice-Chair, Junior Point of Contact, Equipment officer. I am also the club’s Webmaster.
I have competed at all distance super-sprint to Ironman and have qualified for 2020 ETU Aquabike Championships at middle (half-Ironman) distance, although I won’t actually compete in the race until 2022 due to the pandemic!.
Junior Point of Contact - Richard Wroughton
junior@atderbytriathlonclub.co.uk
After my first sprint race at Foremark back in 2015 I splashed aimlessly around the local leisure centre pool trying to improve my swim technique until a chance meeting with a DTC committee member whilst giving blood at Burton Town Hall. I took his sound advice and joined DTC, starting in the friendly and informative novice swim sessions where I made huge gains in just a few weeks with proper instruction. Although I eventually managed a 70.3 at Stafford in 2017 my main focus is now my daughter’s training so you will find me regularly watching from the side of the pool or track.
As Junior Point of Contact (JPC) I represent the interests of the Club’s juniors on the committee. If any member or parent of a junior member wishes anything discussed at a committee meeting, then send it to me and I will ensure the matter is discussed.
