At last the British triathlon series kicked off with the British elite duathlon champs at Prestwold hall, Laughbrough today. This was my first experience of racing in the junior age group and we raced together with the senior women. It was great to be able to measure my performance with the likes of Non Stanford and Abbie Thorrington. It was a 5km run, 20km bike and a 2.5km run. I was pleased to finish 4th junior just 12secs behind 3rd place, 10th overall.
My first run was too slow but I was prepared for some serious work on the bike and eventually caught the main chase group in time to battle it out on the run. I need to work on my running but was excited to see that I had the 2nd fastes bike split out of all the females.
It was great to get a good result after a lousy xc season and some embarrassing galas but plenty of work to do.
Bring on the tri season!
Great result, no doubting your speed on the bike! I think we've all seen that over the last few months!
