Eloise was a great swimmer and loved to swim. I’ve just done a 750m training swim at this pool at Miraflores campsite near to our regular holiday home in Andalucía. I have fond memories of Eloise doing plenty of laps of this short pool, swimming dolphin lengths underwater and, very patiently, with Francis, teaching me how to do a racing turn in full knowledge that I would have forgotten again by the time of our next visit.

While Eloise didn't get to do a triathlon, I have very fond memories of her in all three disciplines. She was a fantastic swimmer, and famously crushed me in a 50m medley race on holiday in Spain. I remember teaching Eloise to cycle in Finsbury Park - she got the hang of it on the same day as Kirsty (bit of sibling rivalry there) and we bought her a yellow bike on her 14th birthday, which she would pedal laconically around Clissold Park. Running wasn't really her thing, but we had some happy days doing sponsored runs in Battersea and the Olympic Park. I'll see if I can dig out a few on topic photos before the triathlon. Here's one of Eloise on her first bicycle for starters.
