How you became involved in the sport:

Mum + Dad have some history in sport; Mum performed well/won lots of pro triathlons (back then). Having now progressed onto longer and harder rides, I realised I’ve practically been doing the ‘riverloop’ for 13 years now, because from day 1, I was taken on loops in the jogger, and I clearly remember shouting at my folks, “faster faster, I want to go FASTER!!!” Then came the little trailer that was attached to mums bike, and then came the day when they put me onto my very own first bike, and I had to stop bludging. I’ve loved it ever since.
