"Everybody wants the flame, but no one wants to get burnt." James Blunt

Deborah Fuller knows no other way than going all in. When Deborah starts a sport, she wants to extract every ounce of ability from her body. Pure sweat, determination, sometimes tears but knowing that she has given it absolutely everything.

Deborah is not afraid to chase the flame. To test herself, put herself in the arena and see what she is capable of.

Coming from a diverse sporting background that includes high level women's Rugby, professional cycling, and national level running, Deborah has now found herself immersed in triathlon.

However, to get to this level Deborah has had to overcome some major injuries and setbacks. And these setbacks have reframed her definition of success and what is really important.

And like anything Deborah does, she wants to compete at the very top in triathlon.
