Back To School For Sports Day, Hands Up! July 15, 2016
I am so very fortunate and grateful to be invited back to a school sports day.. What fun! I loved that day when I was at school, the hype and excitement would keep me awake the night before..
When I arrived at the school in Norfolk I was greeted by beautiful sunshine, joyful children and so much energy. This wasn’t a day where people were prentending to be poorly at home.. This was a day where the school and it’s children were celebrating and enjoying Sport!
Introducing myself to the inspiring children the tanoe sounds “could all 100m finalists report to the 100m start”. Brilliant so we all lined up and crowded the 100m finish line. Staff lining up with stop watches, sports teachers ensuring the finishers stay in order and popping them in their respective plastic chairs labelled 1 to 6. Just great and reminded me of when I was at school 15years ago.
I was asked.. “I suppose you won everything!” I replied “absolutely not, no.” I must admit I did dominate the hurdles and had taken seconds off every record standing but any other event I was very medioka!
The athletics track is grass and very well chalked with 6 lanes. I took the opportunity to look at previous school records on this track. Wow 200m U12 sub 30seconds! I think we could all agree this would be a tough ask and the slightly stronger age of 28.
Heartwarming to be in an amongst such an inspiring day of sport. Every school pupil was out there really pushing hard in their sports and the friends supporting with so much excitement was really awesome to be a part of. They gather like a team, wish one another the vey best, share the success and do it with a massive smile!
I love sport and love seeing so many younger children enjoying the passion and desire sport creates.
Thank you for having me Acle Academy xx

Swimming into the record books, becoming a WETNOSERS July 15, 2014
I joined the Wetnosers, the local open water swim club in Leziate. I was invited to an introduction lap to get familiar with the lake which my Mum also joined me for. It is a stunning setting with perfectly calm water. The following week I headed back to the lake for a 2 lap TT (2km) in doing so I got the 1 lap course record! It was then when I was asked whether I would like to become a Wetnoser. To get this prestigious award you must swim 4 laps in one session (4km) I swam in just shy of 1 hour and was awarded Wetnosers status!
