With the New York City Olympic Triathlon coming up this weekend, I thought I’d better do an open water swim, having only done one so far-at my first Sprint Triathlon competition this year! I can’t thank @grimsbytri enough, who made the water entry & exit accessible for me with an ingenious ‘sled’ and @_ig_19 who came & picked me up in her lovely VW bus 🚌 #Triathlon #family #swimming #openwaterswimming #paratriathlon #swimbikerun

Amazing! 🤗@meridianleisurecentre pool all to myself this afternoon! I’ve always loved swimming, but it’s even better when I don’t have to share a lane or bob around on everyone else’s waves 🌊😝 solo #swimming #swimmingpool #swimmer #triathlon #swimbikerun #paratriathlon #HandcyclingTriathlete

My new racing wheelchair deserves more muscle to push it, mais non? 😜 Working those triceps...and setting a new bench PB! More importantly, my S&C over the last few years has improved my Oesteoporosis T-score in my spine & hips, so its definitely all worth it!

June 19th 2005-the day I survived a horrendous sci accident that nearly killed me. My life changed in an instant. I became a Paraplegic, reliant on others initially, but growing stronger both mentally and physically as the years passed. I raised my children as a disabled single mother, went back to work, took up adaptive sport, became a World Champion athlete. I couldn't have done this without the amazing support of my many friends and the organisations who support people with sci #sci #paraplegic #mother #athlete #nolimits #disABILITY #ReeveSeeUs #aspire #backup #TeamCAF #Teamcatapult

You know you’re back in England when the heavens open 20 minutes before you get home from a ride 🇬🇧 #Handcycling #britishweather #lincolnshire #countryside #flooding

Just look at my sleek & shiny new racing wheelchair made by @carbonbike.usa 🤗 it was made in only three days & I decided to do my first Sprint Triathlon since 2012 in it @triheartland last weekend. Possibly not a good idea to try new equipment in a race, but at least we could tweak a few things before I flew home with it. I had a fantastic time at a great race, lots of lovely peeps, Volunteers & organisers, met up with Insta friend @rebeckers84 at last, who rocked the Olympic Triathlon #likeagirl #triathlon #paratriathlon #swimbikerun #trilife #florida #usa #TeamCAF #teamcatapult
