I am a 36 year old mother of two boys - Jack (5 years old) and Harry (3 years old), and a full time police officer, married to Colin.
Having never participated in anything competitively, and just going to the gym or running in my lunch break at work, I made the decision to try and regain my fitness having had my 2nd child, and wanted something to challenge myself (as if 2 kids wasn't enough!).
The only thing that I could find on a day when both my husband and I were off together, was Wilmslow Triathlon. "Game on, let's give it a go"was my immediate thought, and in went my entry form. Husband brought me down to earth pretty quickly - "you need a bike first" Oops - cycle to work scheme bike purchased pretty quickly, and then a very patient husband to teach me how to ride the damn thing!! 2 weeks after my bikes arrival - Wilmslow Triathlon done........... 3rd female!! Wow, hooked now, and then it went on....................
