Wow! What a truly inspiring day watching the World Para Triathlon Series at Swansea yesterday 👏🏼
As a @Brittri age group ambassador I was invited as a VIP guest to speak to the likes of Claire Cunningham, CEO Ruth Daniel’s and many more to talk about para triathlon 🇬🇧
It’s was the athletes last opportunity to qualify for the Paralympic in Paris later this year so the racing was tense with many athletes pushing hard! 🇫🇷💪🏻
It was great to catch up with a few athletes I also met in Loughborough and see them across the blue carpet! I can say that we have a talented and motivated squad!
One thing I took away from the day was the adaptions that some of these athletes have created to help them, using new design and innovation to help them swim, bike and run! But the cost of some of the creations come at a cost, even a tandem is seriously expensive!
Thank you to Sarah at British Triathlon for the invite and to some of the GB para athletes who surprised me with a Signed GB top, it will be framed with pride!
YouTube video out soon! 🎥
