The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed our Special Features section was updated over the weekend to reveal the identity of April's winner of the Tri247 Gatorade Athlete of the Month.

It really was a very tough decision this month, but we've selected Emma Dews from Thames Turbo as the second recipient of the award, after an excellent start to the year. Find out more about Emma here, and the surprising news that until February last year she didn't even own a bike!

Do you know anyone who deserves this award? If so, tell us! As always, we'd love to here from you. With the May calendar already in full swing, we've got our eyes and ears open already for next month. Get in touch with us on aotm@tri247.com and tell us who you would like us to recognise and why.

Remember - you don't necesarily need to be at the front of the field to catch our eye. Our choice may be based on one, or perhaps a combination of factors including:

• Outstanding performance at one race,
• Consistent performances over a number of events,
• Recognition of an athletes efforts over many months, years…or even decades in some cases!
• Overcoming setbacks, challenges or obstacles.
