About Us

Will Senior & David Pearson

Hello! I'm Will Senior, founder of MyTriRanking. Thank you for taking a peak at our passion project. I'm a splashy swimmer, stompy cyclist and stick my elbows out when I run. I did my first triathlon in 2017 and I've been an addict ever since. I love this sport. 

I've been lucky enough to compete in many charming local races through to proudly representing GB Age-Group teams. But there's a question that's always been on my mind... how do I really rank in Britain? And I mean, how do I REALLY rank when you include everyone; pros and age-groupers, youngster and experienced athletes, regular racers and once a year enthusiasts.

I knew answering this question would help me to properly benchmark my progress, motivate me and make it infinitely easier to explain my beautiful addiction to curious friends. I then started dreaming how answering the question at scale might build camaraderie and ultimately give us all a common achievement language. After an astounding amount of hours tinkering with data, we are really proud to show you all the solution... MyTriRanking. 

I'm biased but have loved playing with the ranking outputs and looking up mates. We hope you find the same joy and excitement here too (kind and constructive feedback very welcome though). Thank you for your support!

Hello! I’m David, co-founder of MyTriRanking. Some may know me for running the @Age_Group_News Instagram page, or as a GB Team Manager. Starting aged 17, I have been proud to represent the GB Age-Group team 15 times over the last 9 years.

By day, I am a software implementation consultant at PhixFlow – who have very kindly allowed me to use the PhixFlow low code application development platform to build the models which underpin these rankings.

My involvement in this project began when Will reached out to me through Age Group News with a vision for the first-ever British Triathlon Rankings. We wanted to build a rankings that could faithfully compare athletes even if they rarely compete directly. A performance-centric rankings where every second counts rather than one that simply rewards athletes who compete often. And a place to find your major results together on one site. MyTriRanking is the result. 

The algorithms draw heavily on experience gained writing models used on @Age_Group_News to predict the outcomes of races. Behind the scenes Will and I have worked through numerous logical problems to get to this point, and I have loved every minute. 

I hope striving to improve your ranking brings a little extra meaning to your performances. I'm excited to get real user feedback on this beta version to inform where we go next!
