So, i've started a blog. Why, you may ask? But if you are here reading this then that's half the battle i guess. I only recently decided to start a blog, having found out that i have a GB age-group place (through the roll-down place system) for the European Championships in Turkey, this June, for olympic distance triathlon. This came as a mighty shock, but i thought a blog would be a way for my sharing my story with people, of how i came from nowhere to here.
Last season was my first year in triathlon, but this was a journey that started back as an undergraduate student at Loughborough over 11 years ago. I remember seeing the triathletes jogging past me and being in awe of them because they had to race 3 sports back to back, rather than just one. However, i have never enjoyed swimming and would avoid it if i could as it was just hard work! i never learnt to breathe with my head in the water so swimming was very tiring and i never used to get anywhere very fast!
All that changed when i decided to sort my swimming out and try my hand at triathlon back in the autumn of 2011. But how did i get there in the first place?...
