In the able bodied games, All the GB cycling squad.

In the Parra games, this young lady stands a good chance of making mincemeat of her challengers: Melissa Reid - Profile - British Triathlon
Melissa lives 60 yards from me and I've known her and her family for 14 years, we used to surf together.....
She dont have the heart of a lion, she's the entire pride!
Drug free too 🙂

Referring to their own hair color:
“We are really brown, like potatoes.”

I think this is a more appropriate pic to capture the essence. Helpful too. She even points, just in case we don't know where to look.

She even points,

Just like a schematic.

When a guy "points" it's considered offensive.

My friend Melissa Reid has just finished her Triathlon and crossed the finishing line in third place.
