What A Journey: An Athlete Story

What A Journey: An Athlete Story

1st December 2020 – 31st August 2024

That is the period that Helen and I worked together. Athlete and Coach.

Initially the remit was to help prepare Helen for her first Ironman, The Outlaw (2021). We continued working together after this successful Outlaw race – with challenges seemingly getting bigger and bigger!

As well as completing her first Ironman – The Outlaw – Helen has achieved some pretty epic things in the past four years.

Here are just some of the highlights.

Triathlon

Epic triathlons have included Deva Middle, EpicMan, The Lakesman (full) and Ironman UK.

Marathon

Marathons have included the Liverpool Rock n Roll Marathon and the Loch Ness Marathon.

Cycling

Cycling events have included Mallorca 167, Tour of Lancashire, Tour de Manc, Tour of the Peak, New Forest Sportive, York-Leeds-York, Liverpool-Chester-Liverpool, Cheshire Cat.

Adventure

Adventure races have also been a feature, including Man vs Mountain, and various trail races.

Swimming

And swimming has really ramped up this year and has included Coniston End To End, Ullswater End To End, Windermere End To End (The Triple Crown), Thames 13k, Ivan Percival 4 Miles.

What A Journey!

In the last four years we’ve also navigated COVID lockdowns, illness, injury, work challenges … and Rugby!

Helen will continue being a popular and inspirational member of our Swim Squads whilst she dreams up some (even) bigger and better challenges to work towards.

My Pleasure

Just to finish, I would like to say that it has been my absolute pleasure working with Helen for these past four years.

Well done on setting some great big goals and doing everything possible to achieve them. You’ve deserved your success!
