My triathlon career (?) kicked off in 2012 when I entered the Fusion Mega-mini event and even though it was short (150m swim, 6k bike, 2k run) I was hooked. I started training with the club that autumn and haven’t really looked back since – mainly because the competition are usually in front of me! I’ve entered loads of events since then and my favourite race would be something like Craggy Island which combines adventure, racing and the great outdoors.
In 2016 my goals are getting back to race fitness after a lay-off last year with an injury and also, as part of the Committee, helping to keep the club at the forefront of triathlon in the UK.

Started training with the club in 2013. I joined the club and took up triathlon as I was trying to learn to surf and thought that if I could learn to swim properly it might help. I figured that since I quite liked running and cycling then joining a triathlon club might be the way to go. I could maybe learn to swim properly and run and ride my bike more often! A couple of friends introduced me to Fusion and since joining I've gone from only being able to swim three or four lengths of the pool to swim training three or four times a week and almost keeping up with some of the guys and gals in the fast lanes. That would not have happened had it not been for a whole bunch of welcoming friendly and encouraging members and some top coaching.
I'm still trying to stand up on my surf board......

Number of Years in Triathlon? I completed by first triathlon in 2009 – Edinburgh New Year’s Day Triathlon. I got into the sport through 2 of my cousins who had done this race previously and I was already a swimmer I thought I could give the running and cycling bit a go – little did I know how steep Arthur’s Seat was! I think I walked/ran up it quicker than I cycled up!
Why Fusion? I have been with Fusion since near the beginning; it's a great club with fantastic coaches and really supportive members. I would never train as hard as I do without the support of the club.
Background: I come from a swimming background – competing while at school and then at Uni. Although I have to admit the Uni swim team was a lot more about the social side than the actual swimming! I did a lot of gym classes before starting triathlon, body pump and body balance etc. I thought I was fit back then, but looking back now I really wasn’t in comparison to the fitness levels I achieved through triathlon.

Why Fusion? I have been with Fusion since the beginning; it's a great club with fantastic coaches and really supportive members.
Background: I came from a swimming background, although it had been a good 15 (or more) years since I had really done very much. I had also taken part in the odd 10km here and there but other than that I really didn't do much sport before getting sucked in by triathlon.
