Outspoken Summit

On my flight was talking to a guy next to me & it came up that I run. He starts telling me how I need to train high mileage & pulls up an analysis he’d made of a pro runner’s training on his phone. The pro runner was me. It was my training. Didn’t have the heart to tell him.

Asking its athletes to bear the costs of lower participation rates at 70.3 Worlds… @IRONMANtri has sunk to a new low… super disappointing to see the women’s race being treated as a second class event and moved at whim just weeks out from the race…

Yesterday, I had the BEST triathlon finish of my life, finishing 3rd overall female (17 secs behind the winner). Announcer: "How does it feel to be beat by a girl?". I don't know, maybe you should ask the *532* men I beat. Please...DO BETTER. #Triathlon #womeninsports

The purpose of achieving your dreams is to inspire others, but the real reward is the journey. Thank you @TIME for sharing mine.

Laws & rules intending to harm transgender women hurt ALL women.

This moment stuck with us and after speaking with our mums, sisters, friends and realising the lack of suitable swimwear for swimmers with afro hair, braids, locs or any type of voluminous hair - we decided to create our own

During those lessons we met a Black woman with afro hair who was struggling with the size of her swim cap. She tired of splitting standard caps and told us how she could never find a good quality one to fit her hair type

SPOILER ALERT: Every human body has testosterone as part of healthy functioning.

Couldn't fit it in a tweet so I had to notes app it. The last 12 hours in sports:

As a designer who consults with museums on gender inclusive practice, I am often asked about signage and icons. Here are some of my top recs for easy swaps you can make for a more gender inclusive visitor experience:
