I'd been sprinting and lifting for three years, but the moment I fenced my first bout and then jumped on a horse thirty minutes later — I understood what it means to be an athlete. Pentathlon broke me open.

Twelve years in the Royal Marines taught me to operate under pressure. Modern pentathlon is the only civilian sport that comes close to that edge. The laser run is the closest thing to a contact scenario I've found in sport.

I do triathlons on weekends and thought pentathlon would be similar. It's completely different — the mental switching between disciplines inside 90 minutes is unlike anything. I'm addicted to the chaos.
