    WORDS: Jo Ebsworth

I do four pool swims a week, and a couple more in my endless pool at home but, come summer, I love to swim in the North Sea. My strength is on the bike, but we still work hard to improve my cycling, as it’s where you spend the most time during an IRONMAN (). I’m motivated to get better across all three disciplines so I can be first out of the water, upfront on the bike, and not drop back on the run.’
