THE TURN
"I started Thriatlon in 2014, I was actually a swimmer before. It was probably the best decision I ever made."
THE CHALLENGE
"The female side of this sport has just gone from strength to strength. The standard is just raising year on year, and the difficulty in becoming World Champion every year becomes harder and harder. But that's why I love it so much."
THE GOAL
"No one as yet won the Olympic gold for Great Britain. So who knows what the future holds."
