I grew up in Canada with a river in the backyard and a 25-metre pool down the road. I could pretty much swim before I could walk.

Growing up, I was obsessed with sport (I've tried everything) but swimming has always been my 'happy place'.

When I moved to the UK in 2001, I was keen to try something new and joined a local Tri club. I was hooked. I've completed half, full and Ironman distances, and cycled the length of the UK and parts of Europe and Africa. 

In 2015, I completed Ironman Canada (complete with bear sighting), and ran the London marathon in 2016. I’ve experienced podium finishes, puke-inducing training sessions, early mornings, and A LOT of time in lycra. Most importantly, I've shared a lot of laughs.
