| How many years have you been in Triathlon? | 4-5 years. |
| Why did you start? | In March 2001, I needed to lose weight and thought that completing a standard distance triathlon would be a good goal - my goal was Windsor UK, June 2002 - then I got hooked. Now I just love the sport. |
| What's your favourite race? | Windsor 2002 (UK). |
| What's your favourite leg? | When all is well, the run; otherwise, the finish line. |
| If you could win one event in the world what would it be? | "Who wants to be a millionaire" - only kidding, probably Forster. |
| What's your favourite drink? | Coffee - in all forms. |
| What's your best race? | Pembrokeshire 2003 (Wales) was my best ever bike leg - my weakest discipline. |
| Is there something you eat which you shouldn't? | Chocolate, hot chips, coffee scrolls.......damn, just woke up. |
| Who is your idol? | Jackie Gallagher, Loretta Harrop. |
| What's the funniest thing that ever happened to you in a race? | As prep for a my first race, I competed in the inaugural Great North Tri, in Manchester. It was a Sprint Tri in May 2002. At 6am, they couldn't reach the min water temp to swim, so they measured it behind the boat (rumours were that was < 8 deg). My legs/feet were numb the whole race - I had to sit to get my bike shoes on. 1/2hr after the race, I was still checking to see if my feet were still there - I got the comment "Well at least you will never get any colder". |
| If you could change anything in Triathlon what would it be? | More understanding for cyclists on the road. |
| If you could have any kind of car what would it be? | A 6.0 litre V8 that I don't have to pay for.......I already have one! |
