On this day 10 years ago it was my first day of retirement from Track Cycling, following my final performance at the London Olympics. I had been racing track bikes since 1989, I had never missed a competitive season until that moment, I remember waking up and feeling not entirely sure who I was anymore. For every athlete I think establishing an identity without their sport is an extremely challenging process. I knew I was surplus to requirement, I retired knowing that minds had been made up and I didn’t have the capacity to fight against it any longer. I wasn’t past my best but I was mentally and emotionally exhausted from trying to prove myself….the training was a breeze in comparison. I retired the physically fastest and strongest I’d ever been and a reigning World and Olympic Champion. The rest is history. I am so grateful for all of the fantastic people who helped me and supported me through my journey, you know who you are ❤️❤️❤️ love you guys. . #trackcycling #onyourbike #onwardsandupwards #fixedwheel #cycling #london2012 #retirement #liketime #commitment #sacrifice #heartbroken #notfinishedyet

When I saw the rainbow over the London sky yesterday, I felt like it was a sad sign. I am extremely fortunate to have been in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on a couple of occasions. I remember being humbled and in awe, my legs were shaking a little as I stood before this incredible, inspirational, kind, and generous woman. Thank you ma’am Rest in Peace 🕊

Had a fantastic time @cowes_week trying a bit of sailing with a fabulous team of people including my big sis Being at the helm during a race was a bit daunting especially in the chaos of the start 😅 but we did it! and got to enjoy a rum at the end of the day…..oh and I did get to climb the mast to get the best view of the Cowes Marina! 🙌🙏⛵️🌊 . @charlottehawkins1 @chrisrobshawrugby @camillakerslake @nicpendleton @talulahrm @samohtsangster @zafrushdie @maxcisottiphotographer @greenroomvip @mustoclothing @mountgayrum @chathamfootwear #sailing #cowesweek #prtrip #yacht #atsea

Thank you to @bennetts_bike for the fantastic day out @thruxtonracing watching the @officialbsb, I was lucky to get the opportunity to do a pillion lap with @taylormac77 we reached about 160mph nothing compared to the speed of professional superbike racing but it felt insane! The forces on my body left me almost speechless. It was incredible and has given me an even greater appreciation for the strength and skill of the professional riders. I think watching any sport in person really makes you feel humble to the capability and capacity of athletes. My mind was absolutely blown! 🏍 @jamiemorris19 📸 #superbikes #sundayfunday #britishsuperbikes #thruxton #fast #adrenaline #speed
