Fame at last ...

A few weeks ago, I was very honoured to be featured on the British Triathlon website talking about my experience of GO TRI events. Click here for the article.

GO TRI is an initiative run by Triathlon England aimed at getting more people involved in triathlons for the first time no matter what their age or ability. Events are low key and reasonably priced and I have completed several of them this year. If you have never done a triathlon before and feel a bit nervous about it, GO TRI is a great way of having a go in a low-key environment. Everyone is very supportive and it doesn’t matter how fast or slow you are or what kit you wear.

I have also had an article published on Henpicked, a website and community which is all about "sharing the wisdom of women".  I wrote about why I decided to take on a triathlon and what I learned from the whole experience.You can read the article here.

The reason I wanted to share my story is firstly to raise awareness of the charity, Pregnancy Sickness Support and the fantastic work it does to support sufferers of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). This was one of my main motivations for deciding to do a triathlon in the first place; to raise money for the charity.

In 2016, I have decided to take on three separate challenges to raise awareness of the charity and hyperemesis gravidarum.  Keep an eye out on the blog for more details of my "triple challenge for PSS". More details will follow soon!

I also wanted to show that you don't have to be super fit or sporty to take on a new physical challenge. All it takes is a bit of determination and a willingness to put in the training.  If just one person reads my story and decides to have a go at something outside their comfort zone then that would make me very happy indeed!
