![]() Having moved from the UK to France last December, I have been trying to scratch the itch of a desire for competition. By being part of the Vox Performance Program, I hope to show others in a similar situation what’s possible, and make my son proud! Although people from the cycling community have been so kind with their expertise and equipment, it’s sometimes difficult to pay for all the support that’s necessary to improve. Competition is fierce! But I’m planning a solid winter and spring of hard work to maximise results, with the aim of winning a race in the women’s league next year. This year I started track cycling at Herne Hill velodrome, and I absolutely love it! I raced in their women’s intro category and next year will be moving up to B cat. Being part of the Vox Performance Project and having that type of support to keep focused over the winter months means the world to me. I’ll need all the help I can get, including holistic training – not just the physical training – so nutrition and fuelling, mental approaches and behaviour as well. However, for this, I’ll need to increase my regular mileage to over 50 miles, cycling on consecutive days, balancing body and mind and the rest of life through this training period. A couple of friends asked me to join them and it was a fantastic opportunity to say “yes” to something that will take me completely outside my comfort zone. I’ve never done anything like this before but I’m turning 50 this year, am newly divorced and am ready for a challenge. I’ll be cycling from Sheffield to Luz in the Algarve next May, which comes to approximately 1600 miles in 21 days. #Vox nutrition hours fullFeeling super strong coming off the bike in a full distance triathlon will allow me to run my ambitious goal marathon split as well!īy joining the Vox Performance Project, I hope to inspire others, particularly those new to triathlon, and share all the lessons I’ve learned from the years I’ve spent growing through the sport. Both of these challenges are huge for me, but I adore cycling and it’s a big goal of mine to become a stronger cyclist, to complement the rest of my triathlon skills. My second cycling challenge for 2022 is achieving a sub 4-hour 100mile TT. I’ve set myself the cycling challenge of achieving a sub 5-hour ironman bike split in 2022 this is my absolute dream achievement and a goal I’m working towards this winter. Meet the riders who have been selected to be part of the Vox Performance Project! They will be sharing their journey with you over the coming months and posting blogs right here at, so you can keep up to date with their progress. ![]()
