Fun fact

Emma is on her way to becoming the most winning female in history at the half ironman distance.

The former track runner has had to invest a lot of time into getting her swim up to a world-class competitive level, something that happened much more easily in cycling when she changed sports. At the start, Pallant-Browne was “literally the last person coming out of the water.”
Being last of the water is a thing of the past for Pallant-Browne but, she reiterates, swimming is still her weakness and something she specifically focuses on every offseason. Focus doesn’t mean racking up the big miles (which is something she tried in the past) - focus means consistency.

“It can be frustrating and hard to step back when you’re in race season but it’s always something that I’ve done and come back feeling better–and then you enjoy it more because you see those times and you’re improving.”
