Briony May Williams Instagram – Hurled myself fully out of my comfort zone today!!! š¬
I absolutely love being a Team Captain for the Superhero Series, it is an event full of pure joy which encourages anyone living with a disability (the superheroes) and their friends/families/carers (the sidekicks) to get involved in one or all of the events.
Last year I was meant to so do the swimming part of the triathlon but seeing as I couldnāt swim more than a few metres, they put me in a boat pulled by the amazing @ladybugstrust and it gave me a HUGE kick up the bum to set myself the challenge of learning to swim and swimming the same section this year. I started lessons at my local leisure centre in January and built up from there.
And today I bloody did it!!!! I swam 150m in open water with no floats or assistance. Iām over the moon!! Itās never too late to learn something new and set yourself a challenge š
The @superhero_series really is magical and encourages everyone to do their best in whatever way they need. Congratulations to everyone who took part today and especially to my lovely team @siennas_cerebralpalsy_journey and @harleysalter ā¤ļø You guys were amazing!!!!
