Rebecca’s Rise

From Breakthrough to Big Time and Why 2026 Could Be Huge

She’s gone from being outside the top 100 to sitting comfortably inside the top 35 in the world. That doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of consistency, smart race choices, and actually delivering when it matters.

The standout moments speak for themselves. Second place at IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea in the IRONMAN Pro Series showed she belongs right at the sharp end, racing head-to-head with the best. Then backing that up with a win at IRONMAN 70.3 Poland confirmed it wasn’t a one-off — she knows how to close a race and get the job done.

What’s probably most exciting, though, is that this still feels like the start rather than the peak. She’s coming into the winter healthy, motivated, and ready to work closely with Sam Proctor to really build the engine — not just patch things up. There’s time to develop properly, raise the ceiling, and turn strong performances into something far more consistent and threatening.

If 2025 was about breaking through and proving she belongs, 2026 is about domination.

The trajectory is clear, the confidence is there, and the hard work is only just beginning.
