While I'm usually blogging about triathlon, today I want to discuss one of my other hobbies, scuba diving. Diving in the UK usually requires diving in a dry suit (not always, but trust me, it's a LOT more comfortable). One of the biggest concerns that many have is about how to deal with the bladder...

While I don't usually like writing a 'race report' per se, I wanted to share my experience of Swansea as it is the second year that Ironman held the race and well, I'm 5 months post operation and did not expect to be racing, but I did. If you haven't read all about my journey... Continue Reading →
Every triathlete looks at ways to improve, it’s why we keep doing this crazy triathlon thing. As triathletes, we spend endless amounts of money trying to get faster, increase our speed and win our age group. Sometimes we just want to finish, but, the amount of money that you can spend on triathlon gear is... Continue Reading →
In July 2019 I had just completed Ironman Austria in Klagenfurt. My stomach had yet another meltdown and I needed to make some changes. After reading Stacy Sims’ book "ROAR" I was inspired to start tracking everything my body was doing, specifically around my menstrual cycle. There is some very good research in this area...

As we enter into 2023, I had a realization the other day that 2022 marked 10 years of triathlon. My journey of triathlon started with a bet and a Groupon voucher for a race in Silverstone, Colorado. I showed up, had no clue what to do or even what to expect. My father proudly stood... Continue Reading →

You can read about the race report from Austria here. I received an email in 2021 from Ironman telling me I had earned an entry into the Ironman... Continue Reading →
I raced my first half Ironman in May 2013 in Haines City, Florida. It was a chance for my mother, stepdad and my bestie to come and see me race. I had just moved to the UK and wanted a warm venue for my first venture into middle distance. The weather did not disappoint. As... Continue Reading →
My last post about about 'a week in the life'...posted a few months after. My season, at that time, was in full swing. I wanted to go through what the past week was like for me. While it's the 'off-season' for most, I am working on building my base and I already had some good... Continue Reading →
It's been a good, but long week for me, a major public worldwide event at work. While it was amazing, I'm exhausted. I didn't have to travel anywhere, but I had to work late hours. Which I really don't mind, the build up of fatigue is something we often forget about. I wanted to share... Continue Reading →
Well, it’s been an interesting few months hasn’t it? Lockdown, no travel, and life altering events across the world. While it’s been a hard time for many, there have been a lot of positives to come out of Covid. In the UK we were fortunate during lockdown in that we could get outside for exercise...
