About Me
Light-loving old lady who wakes up and moves in Spring and Summer then hibernates and blubber feeds for the rest of the year. Ex-runner, ex-cyclist, ex-walker, stbx-swimmer unless I get lucky.

My goals often exceeded my ability but it was fun trying - sometimes type 2 fun! I have imposter syndrome about my only Guinness World Record, and Bruce Springsteen 'Glory Days' as an earworm.

2024 goal - to replace both knees so that I can walk and cycle. Sadly, running won't be allowed. Done. On the road to recovery.
2023 - Thames Half-marathon swim - achieved, quicker than expected.
Big Welsh Swim - achieved. A swimming masterclass may have extended my swim career, time will tell.
2022 - Swim Ullswater end to end - managed 6 miles of it. Another team splash across the English Channel.
2021 - Splash my way, in company across the English Channel. Done. Twice. World record achieved.
Swim Coniston end to end. Done. 2020 - Recover enough from Long Covid to complete a parkrun. Done.
2019 - score 55% WAVA for 5k. 36.18 Not yet.
2018 goal - walk from Land's End to John O'Groats. helegantlejog was a lovely icon. helegant.wordpress.com Done.
2017 goal - bob, wobble and hobble all on the same day and to get a medal for it. Done.
