Get a peek

behind the scenes

  • Yes I have had a round of applause when I was last out the pool in my first Triathlon 

Yes I have come in a couple of hours behind the last competitor in a Duathlon and everyone from the award ceremony had gone home. We did however get a bottle of champagne for coming last (Bless the friends on social media for thinking the champagne was for coming first)

"Set a goal so big that you can't achieve it until you grow into the person who can" 

I love grabbing the bull by the horns (except I'm vegetarian) and doing life experiences that grow me as a person. 

I think I have an obsession with putting myself in situations that I feel uncomfortable. 

Do you love being uncomfortable?
