Hi everyone, i have had a very busy two weeks in France at Les stables. Got some great training in. Feeling so much stronger on the bike. Really enjoyed my time there with everyone. I would have to say my favourite part of the trip was when me, Steve, Sophie and Kate went for an open water swim in the thunder and lightening (and yes i did say this was my favourite part of the trip) :P and two others followed us in the canoe and then we all got stuck in some mud (random i know) but very fun!! We also went to watch the last time trial of Le tour DE France, this was such a good day. Got a lot of great pictures and a few autographs (: Anyway can't wait to go back next year!!
London Tri
This weekend i had London tri which i really enjoyed, one of my better races this year :D Me and mum got there Friday Night after being stuck in traffic for 2hours :( not good, but got there and had some food :) That night i went through last minute check list (even though it would be a bit late if i had forgotten something by now) and had a quick look through the race booklet. Morning of the race, had my usual weekabix :) and headed down to the Excel and put my things in transition. Then me and a few of my friends who were also racing went through transition and swim exits..ETC. Then i was all sorted!! I think nerves were taking over again and i was feeling a bit sick but then calm down a little before getting in the water. I really enjoyed the swim, even though it was the most manic id ever been in due to being set off with the boys. But i was so happy with 4th girl coming out with the leading group. Got wetsuit of very well and a good T1 then i was off on the bike. it was the first time i was trying keeping the shoes already on the bike instead of putting them on in transition, which went really well! Bike i was happy with but was hoping for a bit better position coming in. Then T2 WOOOPSIEEE :S not the best of transitions, i ran pasted my slot in transition and then eventually getting there and putting my bike on the rack, it then fall off :S so not good, but something to work on for next time! Run, i was quite happy with my run apart from the beginning where i had a bad stitch but i ran through it and then coming to the last 100m of the race, i was feeling like i was going to be sick and got inside of the excel and i was :( so i lost one position! But overall very pleased with 9th overall :D
i have a few pictures from France and London tri :)
