Journey to Swim🏊‍♀️…Bike 🚴‍♀️…Run🏃‍♀️…

The 🚴‍♀️

So it probably comes as no surprise that this is 100% my favourite part of triathlon, as I spent years racing time trials. And it was all my dad’s fault!

I wanted to buy a basic bike to ride the couple of miles to the yard where I kept my horse, and happily dad took me to my local bike shop. About an hour later and £1200 lighter I emerged with my first road bike…far more bike and expense than anticipated but my dad was very persuasive as to why I needed it 😂And from there it snowballed.

I wasn’t quite sure how my relationship with the bike would now be seeing as I hadn’t ridden for a few years, and also seeing my dad’s health deteriorate made it particularly hard. He was no longer able to ride his bikes and do the thing he loved, so I anticipated feeling guilty if I got on my own bike. Again it was my lovely training partners who literally dragged me out for the first few rides, and I haven’t looked back since. The little white TT bike made her comeback, and I swear my dad has firmly been sat on my shoulder every time I have got on that bike. It definitely feels very different to be back out racing a bike knowing that I can’t tell dad all about it afterwards, but my mental attitude is so much stronger and I’m determined to do my best each time just for him.

The main problem I have is keeping a lid on the power knowing that I now have to run afterwards, but I’m working on that!

And I know for a fact that if dad was here to tell my triathlon stories to, his response would definitely be “That’s great. But most importantly, how did it go on the bike” 😂

Journey to Swim🏊‍♀️…Bike 🚴‍♀️…Run🏃‍♀️…

The 🏊‍♀️

Isn’t it weird, how something you never imagined yourself doing, comes along at a time of your life when you end up wondering how you would cope without it?

Ok so these are going to be wordy posts so keep scrolling if you aren’t interested.

The loss of my amazing dad has hit hard, there are literally no words to describe it. But it was the most unexpected thing that has helped me keep “my head above water” (pardon the pun…) …yes it was swimming.

I could always swim but never front crawl, and I had an inherent need to breathe in when my head was in the water…less than ideal. But I had started to learn to front crawl a couple of months before my dad became ill as a means to maybe try some triathlons. It really became my refuge, because I could literally only think about what my arms/legs/body were doing and when I should or shouldn’t be breathing. There was no room for worry or upset. I was often found having an “emergency swim” when my head felt like it was going to implode.

And as it turns out, this whole triathlon training journey has saved me over the past few months. The routine of training and the excitement of racing has helped keep my brain in check. 100% I wouldn’t have coped without either of these things.

We often joke that 1-to-1 PT sessions are sometimes more of a “counselling” session for either myself or my client, but exercise and talking to someone definitely help when things are not good.

It’s not a solution, as the days before/after/in between are still very difficult, but I guess what I’m trying to say is never be afraid to start or try something. Start that conversation, or be brave and try something new, as it may just be the thing you look back on and be forever grateful for.

A little update…

So I have been pretty quiet on socials recently, not that I post a lot anyway usually! But we have had a very horrid time, and I lost my amazing dad on 7th March.

He was always my biggest supporter and he was the reason I made most of my life choices, particularly when it came to riding and then racing bikes. So it’s been pretty hard!

However I am using this as a motivator to get back out there, after years off the bike, and I made my triathlon debut at the weekend with him proudly sat on my shoulder I’m sure 💜

More to come on that in due course!

I can only thank my lovely clients for nursing me through these past few months, without you guys it would have been a whole lot harder!

After a busy couple of months getting married 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 and a windy honeymoon in Fuerteventura it’s time to get back it! 💪

It has been pretty difficult getting back to a routine and my own mojo has seemed to have left me recently 🙈 BUT it has been nice meeting some new clients and I am looking forward to cracking on and making progress together!

Progress can be a struggle but with a proper action plan and ideas of how to keep motivation high, anything can be achieved!
