Helen’s Ironman Experience
I left home base on time but then had to turn back as I forgot some of the food I’d prepared for the bike. I sorted my drinks and computer on the bike (with the food) to then miss my partner on the way down to the lake starts. This caused some panic as he was to finish doing my wetsuit up. Luckily I bumped into Di Chesmar who gave him a call to let him know where I was and also managed to get the zip sorted.

What it Takes to Become a Coast to Coast Champion
“Most women look to turning the big 50 with trepidation and negativity. I decided to do the opposite and turn it into a positive by looking forward to doing the Coast to Coast in 2017. For the past year, I have revolved my life around training. Not an easy feat when you work shift work in an emergency department, have a cherry orchard, run and host yacht charters and try to keep time for “family”. I think I am fitter and stronger now than when I was 30 years ago.
