Juggling Training and Work

It's been an incredibly busy couple of months. The Paralympics GB Fast-track training camp was highly informative, I have learnt a lot throught the Scheme, from preparation, planning, travel and how to deal with the pressures of being an elite athlete to juggling life, training, work and relationships. I really appreciate the support.

I'm now back at work teaching English as a Foreign Language and French, which is keeping me very busy alongside training. Really enjoying teaching again and earning some money!

My women's wheelchair basketball team, Vixens, came runners up in the Nationals in May. A great experience for me, and basketball's great for fitness and balance. Also been swimming, started training in a wheelchair racing chair and handcycling. Unfortunately I sustained a minor injury and have consequently been in and out of training for nearly a month, very frustrating. I had to forgo the British Triathlon Championships on 1st June which was disappointing. I'm hoing to be back on form for the London triathlon in August, so getting back in training.
