Fiona BosherI took a call from a woman wishing to join the Optician Ironman team this afternoon. She has missed the cut off for our team but said she was driven to try and join an Optician team after following the progress of Fiona Bosher last year.
Fiona Bosher is the figurehead for the Optician team and her participation follows on from her success last year in the Oakley Transitions Ironman Team. Her performance in the Transitions-inspired team was so good she won a place at the world championships in Florida last November.
Bosher, an optometrist working for the Matheson Group in Hampshire, has a background in a variety of sports but came to triathlon through the Transitions project.
But, she says, despite her achievements, the UK Ironman 70.3 will still be a big challenge.
‘ Although I ended up competing in two events last year it’s still an amazing challenge with huge motivational requirements.'
Competing in triathlon competitions has opened up a new vista of competitive sport for Fiona which I am sure she will share with the rest of the team in their preparation for the UK Ironman 70.3.
