I raced the London Triathlon last weekend. I was really excited to race as this will only be my third race this season and also because London is such a big event.I was relaxed going into the race, i knew i had to be to get the best performance possible.

I swam a lot better than i did at nationals missing the main pack by only 20 seconds but unfortunately this proved to be too much and i failed to catch the main pack and had to settle with the group I came out the water in. We rolled into transition too far down but i still ran hard as it was a good opportunity to get a hard run in for me.

I was a bit disappointed with the result [29th] but am sure that good results will come.

I got some good news earlier this week when i found out that I’ve been selected for the European Under 23 Championships, so i will be working very hard to get into the best shape possible to defend my title.
