Sullers Head December 2011

The Scullers Head this year was warmer than last year, hence the naked arms.
A great race with a good finish position, bring on 2012.  I climbed over 30 places from last year and now stand in the top 50 women.  Unfortunately these are the only photos I got this year.

Ironman Austria 2011

In July this year, I completed my first ever triathlon, and yes - it was a full Ironman. With the help of my rowing coach, Andrew Medcalf, I transferred my rowing fitness to triathlon readiness. Off I went in the van with my bike and equipment, and drove down to the beautiful county of Karnten in Austria for the event, at which I was very pleased to exceed my target time.

I can help you get through your first ever triathlon, whether you want to try a new sport, or improve your current time, in an olympic distance, a half Ironman, or a full Ironman. I know what it takes to get to the event, injury free and in good shape - I can get you both psychologically and physically prepared.

I'm hoping to do my next Ironman in 2013. We're very fortunate to have everything we need to train for an Ironman on our doorstep - cycling around the Surrey hills or up to Box Hill, running in Richmond Park or Bushy Park, and plenty of swimming pools and open water swimming. Whatever your goal, I can improve your technique and make your training more rewarding for you. Feel free to contact me through the website if you have any questions.

Women Henley - Lightweight Single Sculls - Quarter Finalist 2011


This year my second attempt at this event, it went much better.  With my coach Andrew Medcalf I got to the quarter finals again.  Knocked out by a Irish National squad girl, the race was hard and a good experience i held on and raced hard off the start.  Pleased with my efforts this year.

Scullers Head 2010 - 3rd in IM3 lightweight category

Scullers Head.  Getting better each year, in 2009 came 13th in 2010 came 3rd.  I hope in 2011 to do even better.  It's a long race and this time of year cold, but if you get the course right it's a great feeling to be amongst so many scullers on such a wide stretch of river.

Fours Head of the River Race 2010 IM3 Quads

I am the one at the back of the boat.  In charge of steering the course and giving the calls.  Being the smallist in the boat I had to work the hardest to be there in that seat.  Grey cold winters day but a fast race time.
