I have learned so much from over 20 years of training and racing encountering and overcoming countless obstacles as part of my journey to reaching the highest amateur level in the sport. I have lost races I shouldn’t, I have had to overcome innumerable injuries, navigate 2 decades of a debilitating illness (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), endured 2 heart ablation procedures for arrhythmias, had long periods being unable to train due to work / family demands, but ultimately was always drawn back to the sport I loved, and fortunately each time returned to racing at a high level. This requires grit and determination but also dissecting the reasons for the setbacks and implementing corrective strategies to overcome them. I am naturally analytical and curious and perhaps a little obsessed with the pursuit of excellence studying the latest science and how the best amateurs and professionals’ train. I have also learned so much from being coached by some of the best triathlon coaches in the sport including Dave Scott (6 x Ironman World champ), Joe Beer (top UK triathlon coach with 3 decades of experience) and Bob Tobin (coach of many pro level triathletes and cyclists). I love to coach and help athletes regardless of their level providing they have the desire to learn and improve.
