All those early mornings, hours in the pool, countless lengths - it all led to this medal.

I started training back in June, and on Saturday it all came together at Swim Serpentine.

Every stroke mattered. Every session counted. And in the end, it was worth it.

This #MedalMonday hits differently. All my other medals have come from running & cycling – but on Saturday I earned my #SwimSerpentine medal after taking on the two-mile swim.

This isn’t just a medal – it’s a reminder that I can take on new challenges outside of my comfort zone.

Just watched a video with some unsolicited "advice" suggesting people shouldn’t enjoy a post-race beer.

My immediate thought? Shut up! These athletes deserve a cold one if they want it!

Earned it. Living in it. Sleeping in it!

Swim two miles in the Serpentine - my first open water swimming event. This medal isn’t leaving my neck anytime soon

Also me forgetting how heavy my race day bag is 🤣

Swim Serpentine? Let’s do this!
