OMG.. I am a GB Triathlete… Yes, me…. I qualified… To represent Great BritainContinue reading “The wait is over…”

I have fallen in love again…
I loved it. I loved the swim. I loved the bike. I loved the run. I loved it all. I loved triathlon today. So today, I raced with Britain’s finest triathletes – once again, they were fast. The course was fast. And, I was fast, for me! Today was a totally different experience to lastContinue reading “I have fallen in love again…”
Now that was something….
We turned up, we raced… we went home – what a hard morning’s work… We had decided that we would try to qualify for GB in Standard Distance triathlon on Sunday 13 May in St Neots – Cambridgeshire. It had been raining heavily all afternoon and into the evening and even whilst I wasContinue reading “Now that was something….”

It’s not quite like the pool, warm and you have a line to follow to keep you on the straight and narrow as well as being able to push off the wall every 25 metres. The good news is that I could still get myself into my wetsuit! I sat on the pontoon and dippedContinue reading “Oh hello… open water”
Am I good enough?
I am back… it’s been a while I know but there’s a reason. I have been trying to get my head straight.

I set myself my next goal which is just over 3 weeksContinue reading “Am I good enough?”

Next year’s World Championship will be in Australia – Gold Coast. To qualify I need to do extremely well at St Neots Standard Triathlon (1500m Swim / 40k bike / 10k run).

Road rage and pool rage…
Those that cycle and those that swim, will understand. Cycling on the roads has its risks but I do not expect to have a full can of drink thrown at me by a passing van, or abuse hurled at me by passing drivers, or even those that deliberately pull in front of me, slow down,Continue reading “Road rage and pool rage…”
Leading by example…
I am a Personal Trainer and a British Triathlon Coach. I like to think that I don’t just ‘do’ my job, but that I lead by example. In my Kettlebell classes, I like to think that I am not only a good instructor, but that I inspire others to push themselves. Someone once said, howContinue reading “Leading by example…”
