Congrats Tracey
By
I love it when we start to get stuck into the summer as it means that Monday mornings are often filled with e-mails and texts from the athletes that I work with, letting me know how they got on at the weekend, in whatever sporting event they were taking part in.
I got an e-mail from Tracey Sample this afternoon to tell me she has qualified for the GB team (40-44 age group), and will be competing at the World Sprint Distance Triathlon Championships in Budapest this summer. Well done Tracey – top effort.
Tracey has been training with me for almost two years and when she first came to me she was as weak as water and it was quicker to ask what wasn’t sore and injured than what was! I’ve heard stories that at the end of the 2008 season Tracey resembled a mummy at the final race of the season!
The transformation in her strength levels and more importantly her ability to withstand the demands of training and competing in triathlons are impressive (although manufacturers of zinc oxide tape have seen share prices drop since Tracey has started working with me!).
We wish her all the best for the next couple of months training and we will be watching closley to see how she gets on in Budapest.
