A few days ago, I decided to compete in my last race of the year – the Gloucester 10 Mile run which occurred today. I have a new coach called Mark Threlfall, who is an ex pro triathlete and one of the presenters of GTN (Global Triathlon Network) on YouTube. He is also the founder […]
Greeper Laces
I first came across Greeper laces at the London Tri show in March 2019. My father and I saw a photo on a stand of a top local age group athlete and coach, it was Tom Ward from Passionfit and we decided to look at what product his banner was advertising. As a result we […]

IRONMAN WALES 2019
5am: the alarm goes off. I got up and put the kettle on ready for my morning porridge and knocked on the room next door for my dad. We then walked to transition together in the dark to do our final checks. The air was fresh and wet, and the nerves were kicking in! I […]

My first ever qualifying attempt for the 2020 European Triathlon Championships came at the Woodhorn Museum Standard Distance Triathlon.

The Start
May 2019 was the beginning of my journey to become an accomplished triathlete. I’ve always been inspired by the professional triathletes that I keep up with on social media.
