2011 and all that was!

Well after a very shaky year I am back blogging.  But my reason have changed slightly.......I am now doing a blog mainly for my 10 year old daughter in Australia.  Oh my now I have shocked a few of you!

Yes I have a gorgeous daughter, Liane living in Australia.  A long and complicated story which I wont bore you with but kinda the story off my life.  Anyway I am very very excited and over the moon.  That was the best part of 2011. 

Another good part of 2011 is that my sponsor, TRIUK, have indicated that they will keep me on for another year.  2012 is gonna be a big racing year cause I need to give back for the trust they have placed in me.  I want to pull some great results out the bag.

But like I said 2011 hasn't been without its hick-ups.  One of which was 6 months unemployment.  My own doing and something I kinda regret but also don't.  If I regret it it means I have not learnt a thing out of that experience and I haven't grown.  Well I have!  Part of unemployment was joining the army and realising that I am not as young as I think I am.  Basic training was one of the hardest things I have ever done.  Even up there with swimming 7 miles of the English Channel.

Life is kinda back on track now with work in Brixton, house share in Ashford and triathlon training on track and best of all a weekly chat with my gorgeous little girl. 

Anyway for a first one this is it and keep checking back cause needless to say I WILL have a lot of news in 2012.....
