29. Tri #6 Ciara Webb
24/10/2017 Duration: 11minMy name is Ciara Webb, I’m 35, and I’ve been a member of Edinburgh Triathletes for four years (I think). I’m really good at making mittens and running away from difficult situations, and pretty awful at cooking and getting out of bed in the mornings (I used to love the Friday morning swim session but the older I get the sleepier I am!). Outside of triathlon (yes, there is a time in my week when I’m not at a training session!) I organise Portobello parkrun, play in an orchestra, and Irish dance.
