Career
Born in Cardiff,[3] Prankerd began competing at a young age with the Maindy Flyers children's cycle club before joining Cardiff Ajax. Prankerd set the record for the 5-kilometre (3.1-mile) Tandem Standing Start event on the track along with Alex Greenfield, with a time of 7 minutes 4.424 seconds. The record was set at the Newport Velodrome on 10 June 2004.[4] They also held the 10-kilometre (6.2-mile) Tandem Standing Start event on the track, with a time of 13 minutes 10.421 seconds. The record was also set at the Newport Velodrome, on 16 May 2006. In 2008 Prankerd rode with Team Halfords Bikehut before moving to Vision1 Racing in 2009.
Prankerd suffered a setback to her cycling career when she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Subsequently, she took up a coaching role at the Wales National Velodrome in Newport and teamed up with partially sighted cyclist Nia Knight with a view to competing in the tandem event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[5] Prankerd subsequently rode solo, representing Wales in the scratch race, where she finished 7th.[1][6]
