Alison Peasgood
Coach:
Jack Peasgood
Alison made her Commonwealth Games debut in Paratriathlon at Birmingham 2022, unfortunately suffering a crash in the bike section of the race. Visually impaired (less than 10% vision) Alison races with a guide athlete, who she is tethered to during the swim and run, and cycles with on tandem bike.
A former world and four-time European champion, Alison first took up the sport in 2013, having transitioned from athletics. She won a stunning silver in the PT5 event on her Paralympic debut at Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, alongside guide Hazel Smith and narrowly missed out on a medal at last year’s Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games finishing in fourth place along with her guide Nikki Bartlett.
Alison – who was born in Kirkcaldy and lived in Ayr – has taken a break from her physiotherapy career to train full-time and is based at the University of Stirling Triathlon Performance Centre.
