First and only female ever to play cricket for my junior school
Held Lancashire schools record for chucking the big spear (javelin) for many years after leaving school.
Played for ICI Women's football team (that's football with a round ball, the one you lot call soccer)
Played table tennis for Carleton women's league team
Judo, 3rd dan. UK junior competitor and a club coach (yup even as young 'un)
That was before I left school
Then came cycling and spent quite a number of years being very serious about cycling, putting in lots of miles and taking part in national events like Cyclefest.
My body doesn't allow me to do too much anymore but I returned to cycling 2 and half years ago when I gave up ciggies and nicotine. Sadly I can't cycle as far, climb hills or pelt along half as fast as I used to but it's still a joy to get out in open air to stretch the old legs and lungs, when my body lets me.
