I’d never properly swam in the sea. I’d never ridden a road bike. But I decided that after struggling with postnatal depression and anxiety that fitness was my best therapy and completely out of the blue I booked my first Ironman 70.3. This was such a steep learning curve but I quickly realised how much I loved the world of triathlon and the buzz of crossing that finish line was the best feeling! Following this I booked onto my first full Ironman. People said I was “crazy” and that they didn’t understand me, but I loved what I was doing and it helped me so much…..I didn’t give up.

After completing my first full Ironman I was invited to take part in the first, female only Ironman World Championship with the Ironman Foundation - one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I couldn’t believe that I was there and how far I had come. My anxiety had reduced and I had achieved something I never thought possible.

I’ve now completed 4 Ironman events, including the Nice Ironman World Championships and haven’t looked back. Now qualified as a Ironman U Certified coach, I’m working with TriDot to help others to achieve their goals. Whether you’re a completely new starter, have a hectic work/life balance or are wanting to smash your fastest times, I can help so please do not hesitate to get in contact.
