Zak Carr joined the Api squad in 2001, and relaunched his career in dramatic style. Until then, he had been known as a short-distance specialist, although he had set the record for the fastest debut 50m time trial several years ago. Fantastic performances at 100m and 12 hours saw him finish second in the British Best All Rounder competition at his first attempt. A knee injury in the winter saw his preparations for 2002 upset, but Carr recovered to win silver medals in the National 10 mile and Circuit championships in September, leading Api to their first ever national team tile in the 10 mile event. Carr has also set five national records on the tandem this year with partner Glenn Taylor, and an unofficial medium-gear 25 mile record.
