BACKGROUND:
Foremost I am mum to 3 wonderful children. Supported by my husband, children and a fantastic network of friends I’ve found my way to some awesome sporting achievements.
I hope to encourage others to enjoy the best of life through the avenues sports and goals can create. With balance, discipline and drive; goals can be unlocked.
For me it is the often challenging journey that brings the greatest rewards. The friendships you build, the trust you place in others, the respect your hard work earns, the places you visit. All these lead to the race day highs and lows.
As a steadfast runner for many years, I reached a stale mate with running in early 2021. I was as run fit as I had ever been and was due to compete at the 2021 Olympic Trials marathon, however my body was over stressed and I pulled from the race and had to reframe the year ahead.
Time to TRI something new. Encouraged to cross train while injured I took to swimming and cycling. November 2021 I decided to enter my first triathlon; Ironman to rehab myself back to marathon form and take on a new challenge. I loved the challenge, the training, the new experiences it brought, the new skills set it taught me and more than anything it paved a way forward that would still allow me to run and compete with less stress on the body.
July 2022 I successfully complete Ironman Vitoria Gastiez in Spain placing 8th female and 3rd in my age group with a world championship qualifying slot on offer to Kona.
The Ironman journey is the most rewarding sporting achievement I have completed. It also propelled my to run a personal best at London Marathon placing 5th over all in October 2022.
