Overall had an amazing race today and enjoyed every second of the race the support in the Olympic park was amazing!
The swim for a start I couldn’t get into a rhythm but managed to settle into a good enough swim for me!
For the bike I was just surprised I was not the last out the water in my age group. I managed to cycle hard for 3/4km catch up with another GB athlete and managed to work together catching a few GB and Austrian athletes. Ended up with a group of 12 in the end was an amazing experience and being part of the first AG European draft legal race was a pleasure. Towards the end there was lack of communication and as I technically started the group I left the group with 1km to go to make sure I was first into transition.
An amazing T2 for me with no issues and taking 25th for T2 out of 1200 athletes .
Onto the run by now it was roasting I managed to just just over 20 minutes wanted to be under 20 minutes but with a massive hill and heat I’m happy with my overall performance.
Overall buzzing to just be here and compete at this level. I gave it everything as some of the screen shots I’ve been sent of the live suggest .
23rd in my age group out of 37 and 221st overall out of 1200 people! Happy I didn’t come last and held my own against some of the best In Europe!
Onto the next one.
