2590m. The highest and probably coldest dip I've ever had! This planet certainly puts on a good show! #Andorra #WildSwimming #GoPro #HappyOutside #Mountains

Travelling Europe with a boat has it's perks. "Rest" days make for good adventures. #Pyrenees #AltitudeSwimming #WhereDidILeaveMyLegMuscles

Today would have been this pair of legends' 40th Wedding Anniversary. Presumably Dad is joking around wherever he is to celebrate! #MissYou #GoneTooSoon

Me, my girl, our van and MARSHMALLOWS! ❤ 👭🏼🚐🔥 . @campandcaravan #getoutside #offswitch #backtoworknextweek

What a difference a week makes! Had a little fight with a pole on our last day of training in La Seu last week....the pole won! Thanks to the instant delivery of a steri-strip from physio Andy, it's all healed up now and my good/bad (delete as you see appropriate!) looks are here to stay!

Went for a little cycle to get a different view of the office we have for 2 weeks. Seems my legs have forgotten how to ride a bike! #SnailInSpain #Cyclocrossing #StravaFailure

Well, that was an experience! Thank you @pink for your ingenuity, fun, genuineness, inspiration (no Mum, I'm not going into acrobatics!) and love for every single one of us filling Wembley ("can we have an 80 000 person cuddle??") As somebody who is called a boy everyday, the self-love speech once again rang true. I wish I could play it on a speaker everytime I walk into public toilets....maybe I should?? If you somehow missed that famous 2017 VMA speech, look it up, but the crux of it goes like this: "And I said to her, 'Do you see me growing my hair?' She said, 'No, Mama.' I said, 'Do you see me changing my body?' 'No, Mama.' 'Do you see me changing the way I present myself to the world?' 'No, Mama.' 'Do you see me selling out arenas all over the world?' 'Yes, Mama.' 'OK! So, baby girl. We don't change. We take the gravel and the shell and we make a pearl. And we help other people to change so they can see more kinds of beauty.' It hurts when I hear that female athletes don't want to do weights because of what their body will become, or worse, they quit their sport entirely for that reason. Who's going to care when you become the rockstars of your sport? Personally, I can't imagine not having these guns. Besides all the things I couldn't then lift or do, life would be a lot less fun! #pink #wedontchange #strongwomen #womeninsport #shorthairdontcare #androgyny #badass #rockstar

Dallerie was looking spectacular for the @morrisonsacademy Sports yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed my time watching all the events going on and it was a privilege to present the prizes. On my last Sports Day as a pupil in 2000, the prizes were presented by Emma Carrick-Anderson. I remember thinking I wanted to be just as good an athlete to have the chance of presenting the prizes one day. That day finally came! ✅ Who will be the next MA Olympian?? #SportsDay #MorrisonsAcademy #StriveForTheHighest #EmmaCarrickAnderson #Olympian

Classic Edinburgh shot ✅ Princes Street shining in the sun. #ThisIsEdinburgh #visitScotland #PrincesStreet #CaltonHill

Top day topped off by getting along to Calton Hill on the bike to have a wee look over Edinburgh! #ThisIsEdinburgh #visitScotland #CaltonHill

Unlucky 13 was certainly unlucky for me in our home World Cup Race 1 at Lee Valley. Good enough sections at the top and the bottom of the course but came apart in the middle of the course. Couldn't quite correct a line error before the crutial section at gates 19 to 20 which meant I lost too much time there. Too much time lost for a chance of a place in the final. So, so disappointed I didn't manage to put something down. Thank you so much to everyone who came to support me on the riverbank and from home. Time to move forward to the rest of the season!

Ach so close to a final! So many little things on that run could have been the 0.08 second difference. Happy Birthday Dad, know you're still supporting me from somewhere; didn't quite send you the birthday present I was hoping for! 💙😘 Onwards home to Lee Valley for World Cup 1 in 2 weeks time!

🇪🇺European Championships🇪🇺 Leaving behind that team run from today! Off to tomorrow's semi-final. My run is at 11:26BST. No livestreaming because of TV rights! So unless you have access to France 3, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Slovene or German TV then the live results in my bio will have to do! 📷: @kim_jones_photography #CanoeSlalom #EuropeanChampionships

Another sunny session with @ricarda_funk this morning....4 months on from our fun sessions in Dubai! So good to be sharing our course with the world's best. Thanks Rici for the session and laughter! Thanks @franzanton89 for the 📷💣!
