It’s ok to try new things & fail 😜 #gymday #pullups #fail #nevergiveup #tryanotherday #gymbunny #womenwholift #gymfit #paratriathlon #swimbikerun

Have wheels, will travel 🧳 😂 It’s been a very frustrating six months without a car now which has curtailed lots of activities in both my social & sport life, but I’m reverting to what I do best-sorting out travel logistics! Thank goodness I have over nine years of practice travelling solo all over the world 🌎 with my adaptive sports equipment! I really miss having ‘Viva’ the VW helping me to get to races though-next step is selling my house to move somewhere with better public transport links & getting a car big enough for Paratriathlon kit! #tacingwheelchair #solo #traveller #manchester #trainstation #travel #paratriathlon #triathlon

Always nice to be on the Podium 🤗 #wheelchair #road #racing #10k #paraathletics #racingwheelchair #paratriathlon #swimbikerun

Amazing weather here in Blighty! Bank Holiday weekends are renowned for being wet, cold & miserable, so to have a fabulous weekend for getting outside training meant I made the most of it 😀 Slightly concerned about climate change though 🤔 #easter #bankholiday #climatechange #wheelchairracing #running #triathlon #paratriathlon #swimbikerun 🌞

Go hard, or go home! Love my new gym schedule from John Barrie, S&C Coach for Paratriathletes at Triathlon Ireland 🇮🇪 #makinggainz #gymface #gymbunny #womenwholift #strongnotskinny #paratriathlon #swimbikerun #HandcyclingTriathlete #happydays 🤗

Have you ever wondered how wheelchair athletes squeeze into their race chairs & why they look like they have no legs? (N.B. Amputees are included in the 'T' or track class btw so some athletes don't have one or two legs) My chair is a slim 11" across the width of the wheels, but because I have good child-bearing hips 😉 I have to drop one hip in first and pop the other one in & slide back at the same time. My bum rests on a thin 'shelf' made of fabric at the back of the chair. The cushion I'm holding is to help push me forward in the chair so that I can strike the push rims in a better position. When I hear the side guards 'pop' I know that it's time to lose a few kilos 😬 If you would like to help me purchase a new better fitting racing wheelchair, the link is in my Bio. #racingwheelchair #myshoes #runninggear #wheelchairracing #running #wheels #runningcommunity #paratriathlon #swimbikerun #triathlon #ironman
