Wonderwoman Colette Qualifies for Team GBR in Both Europeans and Worlds

I did my first triathlon in 2013, like most people I thought it would be just the one, just to see if I could do it. Little did I know back then that one race would end up being a mild obsession with all things carbon and lycra…

I joined Viceroys soon after and inspired by some of the club members let myself believe that maybe, one day, I too could race with GBR on my bum.

For me 2015’s main goal was getting to Chicago after gaining a place at Edmonton but having to turn it down due to work commitments and so project fast feet began (and is still on-going).

Qualifiers were here all too soon, the nerves greatly helped by having so many others in pink racing with me. As St Neots was a low for me, Dorney is a day I will always remember with a big grin, knowing I had secured the place I had dreamt of.  Perfect race, great day representing the best club and with amazing friends.

O my surprise I was lucky enough to get a place at the Europeans in Geneva in July, pulling on that GB suit in the morning is very special.

It was an amazing experience on one I will always remember, but now it’s time for the big one. Chicago, it’s going to be a blast.
