The transition from beginner to an Olympian is an extremely challenging emotionally with many highs and lows.
At the age of 8 I joined my local swimming club, in Hartlepool and I never thought I would become a full time athlete, an Olympian or even a 200m Butterfly swimmer!
Ever wondered about what its all about? On chatting to my family and freinds triathlon is commenly mistaken for being a challenge only for extremely fit people, well let me tell you the truth.
