A blind social media star said she could be waiting for years for a new guide dog because of delays connected with the Covid-19 pandemic.
She said it was like losing her eyesight all over again . It has really knocked my confidence that in a pandemic I don t have my dog any more, Ms Edwards, from Sutton Coldfield, in the West Midlands, said. I don t feel comfortable going outside on my own.
She was due to represent Great Britain in the European Age Group Championships last year before the Covid-19 pandemic led to the event s postponement.
Despite this experience though, Lucy said swimming in cold temperatures without a wetsuit is out of her comfort zone.
“I absolutely love triathlons and they’ve become a big part of my life but, while there are no races on at the moment, I wanted to do something different to challenge myself.
“For me, this isn’t about fitness, it’s a mind-over-matter challenge to embrace the cold water as painful as it may be.
“I’ve been finding it so exhilarating and it makes you feel so alive.
