Open to those associated in the property world Dempsey took part in the mens sprint distance race on Friday 4th July 2014 as Aston Knowles sponsored triathlete.

The Sutton Coldfield based premium property Estate agent will be following the triathlete throughout his summer of training and races prior to his World Championships in September.
Dempsey, from Aldridge near to Sutton Coldfield quotes ‘I was pleased with my race on Friday, the weather conditions were a little windy which made the swim tough, but the pan flat course is a great ride especially with a TT bike. By the time I hit the run course temperatures were up to 28 degrees which made for a hot race. Im really pleased i made a podium position and thank Aston Knowles for coming along and offering me support throughout the day. Im looking forward to my next Olympic distance race at the Liverpool British Triathlon championships on the 10th August’.
