Athletic Zones

Tough three years of hard work, self-belief, and putting yourself on the line every single time. Never giving up, even when things weren’t going your way. Staying focused, staying consistent with your training, and always working to be better than you were the day before.

You’ve dealt with so many uninformed, uneducated social-media trolls and online critics along the way — but in the end, the results always speak louder than the noise.

Let the performances do the talking. The road tells the truth.

Desert Days & Special Moments: Time with My Eldest in Dubai

There’s something magical about Dubai—the heat, the pace, the skyline rising out of the sand—but nothing quite compares to the joy of spending time there with my eldest daughter.

This trip was more than just tagging along to one of her tough training blocks (although timing her laps in that scorching sun deserves a medal of its own!). It was about being present. Cheering her on from the sidelines, seeing the determination in her eyes with every stride—it reminded me just how driven and focused she is, and how proud I am of the woman she’s become.

But beyond the training sessions and recovery routines, what really made this trip special was the time we shared off the track. Slower mornings, evening meals, chats that weren’t rushed… and, of course, celebrating the big news—her engagement to Michael.

Seeing them together, happy and full of love, was such a heart-filling moment. They’re a brilliant team, on and off the track, and I couldn’t be happier for them both. It’s a beautiful thing to watch your child step into a new chapter of life, especially when it’s one built on so much respect, support, and shared dreams.

This trip was a reminder that amidst the training, planning, and goals, it’s the quiet moments, the shared laughter, and the quality time that matter most.

Here’s to more desert adventures, more milestones, and always finding time to be present with the ones we love.❤️
