Who do you look up to in triathlon?

Emma Snowsill for her incredibly quick 10k off the bike.

What is your best strength in triathlon?

I got into triathlon aged eight when my mum entered me into a local event in Clifton (Nottingham).

What is your ultimate goal in triathlon?

I would like to represent GB in the ITU World Series Events, the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics.
