Emma, who lives in Wolstanton, is in Turkey to represent Team GB for the first time at the European Triathlon Championships.

That will involve a 750m swim in the Bosphorus strait, followed by a 20km bike race across the bridge that joins Europe and Asia and culminating in a 5km run through the historic streets of Istanbul. She will be competing against 16 others in the female sprint triathlon for the 35-39 age group,
