She went to a training camp in France in early 2005 and made the decision to concentrate on the sport. "University is where I found triathlon, reluctant as I was to begin. Once I started I was hooked, this was a sport I wanted to succeed in." (Instagram profile 23 Jun 2020; vickyholland.com, 28 May 2012)

LOCKDOWN AND LOOKING BEYOND TRIATHLON
She said she used the COVID-19 lockdown in England in 2020 as a chance to recover ahead of the rescheduled Olympic Games, and said the downtime gave her time to consider a life after competitive triathlon. "My approach is to be 100% ready for the Olympics and as much as you can physically be ready, you need to be ready mentally to take on the challenge and the gruelling build-up. So, I used [the lockdown] as downtime and I almost welcomed the slowing down in pace of my life. I took the opportunity to do a bit more cooking, a bit of baking and I'm learning French. It was a little look ahead to what life might be like once I've retired from elite triathlon. That's not me saying I will retire once the Olympics are done but my intensity and attitude to it will change slightly as I look to transition out of sport at some point, that's why I made the most of enjoying some other things in my life during lockdown."
