Beth Potter has already proved that she's one of the best in the world, so now she's racing for fun.
The runner turned triathlete soared to double Olympic bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games last summer, with success in the women's individual triathlon as well as the mixed relay event.
It marked a definitive moment in the Scot's sporting career, forced to battle off the doubters after switching sports in 2017 and told she would never make it in triathlon.
Potter now stands tall with two Olympic, two world, one European and one Commonwealth medal around her neck.
And with the possibility of more silverware on the way this year, following podium places at two of the four World Triathlon Championships Series events that have taken place this season, Potter is here to stay and more importantly, stay while enjoying herself.
"I feel there's a lot less pressure this year," she said. "I've been able to enjoy it a bit more which is quite nice.
"I often struggle with anxiety before races, but I've not had that as much this year.
"I've been able to sleep fine and just been a bit more chilled going into it while still being able to produce some good results.
"I just feel like I've got a world medal, not that I don't want another one, and I've got Olympic medals now, anything else is just a bonus.
"The world title is very much up for grabs this year as well, and I'm not giving up on that and but it's just one week at a time really."
A year on from Paris 2024, Potter is just one of many athletes reaping the rewards of being able to call herself an Olympic medallist.
The post-Paris months provided some of the coolest opportunities for Potter to enjoy after all her work and recuperate ahead of the new season.
"For me, the highlight was meeting the King at Buckingham Palace," she said. "That was really cool.
"I've been to some other things and then some I've not been able to go to just because of training camps or where races fall.
"We had a gifted holiday as well, so I've been able to just enjoy the off season and not stress too much about getting into shape too quickly and racing early doors.
"It was quite nice to just take my time and just build back and get a good bit of work underneath me before I even thought about racing.
"Mentally, it was a great a reset after last year."
One of the first events of the triathlete's season was not triathlon at all, but a return to her former love of athletics.
Similar to many in a post-Olympic year, Potter decided to try something different and set a 10km personal best of 31:15 in March to qualify for the European Running Championships in Belgium.
She finished 14th, placing second among the British athletes and the pivot back to her running roots allowed an entertaining change to her training regime after years of focusing on swimming and cycling.
"I was actually a bit disappointed with my performance," she said.
"There was some other personal stuff going on, so I found it quite hard to get myself in the headspace, but it was really fun just to do something different.
"I've been focusing a bit more on my running this year. Obviously, the last three years there was more focus on the swimming and bike, so I'm back at a high volume of running now and just enjoying that.
"I just wanted to see where I was at before I came out to start the season. But I think I'll maybe look at doing a faster 10k next time."
With the accolades to show for it, Potter has undoubtedly shown that her move from athletics to triathlon was the right choice.
It is a tale of resilience and self-belief, even when the rest of the sporting world is against you.
And with her team behind her, and a whole lot of determination, Potter now hopes that her story can be the blueprint for up-and-coming youngsters who feel the same.
"There are a lot of people who have paved the way, and now I feel like I'm at the top, hopefully I'm people's role model now," she said.
"I didn't have anyone backing me when I first moved to triathlon. I lost sponsors and support, but I had a small group of people that did believe in me.
"I had to just go and do it on my own and prove that I was going to be good enough. You got to have that belief in yourself."
