About Me

I began my sporting career age five as an enthusiastic swimmer and have taken a winding path to representing Great Britain. I spent my late teenage years as a keen runner achieving some regional and national success with my club and competing regularly in National Championships.

I reached a ranking of 36th in the country before serious injuries derailed my progress with specialists telling me it was unlikely I would be able to run again. I heeded their advice for a couple of years till the death of two inspiring sporting friends made me realise life was too short to not do what I love and I tried to jog again.

With a lot of encouragement from my old training partners, this developed into running and I eventually managed a couple of races. Upon returning to serious training in 2011 I sought a new challenge to utilise my swimming and running capabilities and turned to triathlon.

I had immediate success in my first season qualifying to represent Great Britain in the European Championships in only my fourth ever triathlon.
Since then I’ve gone on to finish 14th in the World Duathlon Championships and am loving racing and training more than ever.
