HOW IT ALL STARTED
I'd been training a friend for her first open water swim, a 5km swim from Gosport to the Isle of Wight, crossing the Solent dodging large shipping containers, numerous sailing boats and jellyfish. Some people dropped out in the weeks leading up to the event, spaces became available and when I was asked if I wanted to swim it.. well obviously I said yes! But why stop there... I'd been wanting to do the Hadrians Wall Path for a while and the Great Glen way, so overnight the swim, paddle, run... UK Triathlon was born. Swim the width of the Solent. Run the width of England. Paddle the width of Scotland.
