amazing really I mean I was quite a sporty kid but then like most people you have kids you've got no time for exercise in your 30s so for me it was hitting my 40s seeing that middle age was around the corner perhaps and then going back into it so I was a moderately good runner a moderately good cyclist my children had started cycling so I became a cycle coach and that sort of
I honed my track skills a little bit.
It's kind of the Venn diagram of where, you know, running and cycling meet.
And it's a fairly niche sport.
So if you're moderately good at both of them, it turns out you can be quite good at the two things put together.
So I found myself on the podium at some events and thought, wow, this is actually quite good.
I'll continue.
And then qualified for the age group Team GB, which was in Australia.
And I had a sort of mad five days competing completely jet lagged and not really knowing which way was up.
And I was just really glad to complete it.
The last thing you want is to go there and then, you know, fall over at the start or something like that.
But, yeah, it was a great experience.
And I'm glad I've done it.
But I'm quite happy now to throw away my Strava and, you know, relax back.
I still have my Team GB triathlon suit, yes.
Yes, good question.
I think science, because obviously I'm not an actual professional athlete, so apologies to any of those out there that might be listening.
But I do think with sport, bar injuries and everything else, the more you do, the better you get.
And with science, it's often not like that.
You can have sometimes years of setbacks before something good happens.
