Well what a day , I had a magic swim for me. For not having a wetsuit for the first time plus the lake was full of weed I went in and gave the swim everything and came out the water 4th in my age group 20th overall. I couldn’t be happier!
Into T1 fast transition for me with flying mount out of T1 2nd in age group 7th overall.
Onto the bike, managed the flying mount and set off no problem. Only to find I had no legs. From the swim course to the start of the bike laps I had already contemplated stopping (this is only 4km to the start). I think between the heat of 29 degrees and a later start while not nailing my nutrition I was gone . I managed some how to stay on the bike and finish as strong as I could. The bike course was brutal but had its fun fast down sections ! By now I was down to 5th in age group and 51 overall!
T2 was a very long one and with tired legs was longer than I would of liked 4th age group and 21 overall.
Onto the run again another brutal course had to walk some of the sections as I was not catching people while running up the hill and wasting energy!
Finished 5th in age group and 48th overall .
Overall I am absolutely buzzing to have competed at this level, I’m glad I managed to finish in the end as I went through every emotion possible over the race! I have learned so much from this and hope to take it into my next races.
Looking forward to a chill day tomorrow before flying back to see my family on Friday !
Want to say a thank you to all my sponsors for helping me in many ways to get me to the event and and sorting equipment also.
