About Speed Play Events Speedplay Events is a Hong Kong based company offering
sporting events, clinics, overseas camps & coaching for triathletes,
cyclists and runners across Asia. Speedplay Events is one of the
only companies in Asia offering high end, tailored coaching solutions
for busy professionals & those seeking to “climb their
Everest”. The company is run by Claire Murray, a professional
triathlete & coach. Claire started out as an overweight banker
working in Hong Kong and a rugby player in her spare time. After
deciding she needed a new challenge and to get into shape, she completed
her first triathlon in September 1998. As with many others who complete
their first race, Claire felt that with a little more training and
preparation she could improve her times and very quickly fell in
love with the sport. Seven years later, she is Asia’s leading
long distance female triathlete, competing all over the world. She
has represented Hong Kong in six Asian Championships and one ITU
World Championship over the Olympic distance, before returning to
Ironman racing where her true passion for the sport lies and will
race the Hawaii World IM Championships in October 2005. Claire formed Speedplay Events after spending a number
of years racing professionally and working at ING Bank as Head of
Market Data & IT Procurement, Asia. She thought there were probably
many athletes who want to try a new challenge and improve their
fitness but felt daunted by the whole process. Triathlon is seen
by many as one of the ultimate challenges due to the distances covered
and the fact you have to master three sports plus the rapid transition
from one to another! The driving force behind Speedplay Events is
the desire to offer coaching and triathlon clinics to encourage
beginners become fully involved in the sport and enjoy their first
triathlon experience. The focus is on fun and making new friends
from all over the world. The company now coaches a multitude of
athletes from beginner to Ironman athletes, all looking for a fun
environment to learn, improve and be pushed to new levels, spurred
on by the company motto “Surpass your limits”. • Triathlon, cycling, swimming & running
coaching services “Claire’s training
program and her constant support helped me immensely during my pregnancy,
both mentally and physically. By maintaining my fitness level during
my second pregnancy, I not only felt better but I will be completing
my first race only three and a half months after my last baby”.
