Last Sunday I finished 18th in Xterra Czech short track, and while I won't be standing on any podiums, or starring in the livestream, for me this is still a win.

One-off out of retirement for Xterra UK!

17th May 2023

Xterra Weston Park - an epic return! It was worth the 8-year wait to see Xterra back on UK shores. I never thought I'd race in an elite field again, let alone stand on a podium with Alistair Brownlee! (Albeit a few steps lower down)

Training with a baby in tow

30th Jul 2019

It's been a while since I last posted - a few life events have taken priority! Selling our house, relocating to Dorset, buying a new house, knocking walls down - along with other DIY, unpacking our life and looking for new jobs here meant social media has fallen way down the to-do list!
