About me: I came to triathlon in my 50s having been a club swimmer in my teens and a horse-rider after that, but increasingly a couch potato. It has brought me a new motivation, increased fitness and a great new group of friends. I love the camaraderie of triathlon, the variety of training and the fact that I can compete in my age-group, not just against fit young twenty-somethings.
