Best triathlon moment: On the swim of London Triathlon last year - I managed to get into a good rhythm and at the half way point I looked ahead and saw no-one in front of me apart from the lead canoe - I thought - 'I'm in the lead', then I looked over to my left and realised I was most definitely not in the lead and had drifted way over to the side behind one of the marker canoes. It was an amazing feeling of leading the race... even just for that split second!

Worst triathlon moment: Worthing Triathlon 2009 - decided not to wear socks to help speed up transitions, not a problem on the bike leg, but my trainers were quite new and let's just say they properly cut my feet up on the 10km run. Not nice, wore flip flops for a week afterwards!

Most embarrassing triathlon moment: None as yet - sure there will be a few this year!

Lifetime Triathlon/Sporting Goal: Has to be a full Ironman in Kona, Hawaii!!
