I started out as a bodybuilder, competed for around 10 years with success but it was a very lonely sport so a group of my friends were doing obstacle racing so whilst still weight training I did a number of Spartans as well as some 12 hour endurance racing from around 2015 and again with some success.

However after doing this for several years the body was starting to tell me that this sport was tacking its toll. In the meantime a friend of mine had been trying to get me into Triathlon for the past 20 years but whilst bodybuilding it wasn’t an option. But I had her voice was in my head so I thought at 50 years of age... why not!
