Lucy Charles-Barclay insists she will not let her recent coeliac diagnosis get in the way of an emotional London T100 Triathlon title.
The Ironman world champion, 30, currently tops the women's standings after second place finishes in Miami and Singapore and will return to the streets of the English capital to continue her red-hot campaign on 27-28 July.
"I had a big health diagnosis last month when I found out that I was coeliac, which I've obviously been dealing with my entire life and didn't know," she said."I've been getting stronger each week as I get used to that but it's going to take time. "If I can do a similar performance in London then I'll be really happy as I'm building race by race."
"I had been dealing with a few symptoms and wasn't sure what it was and decided to look into it further," she said."It's an easy enough transition to cut gluten out but it is in a lot more foods that you think so I'm just being adaptable in my nutrition now, and supplementing the carbohydrates I can't have with ones I can.
