Loughborough Performance Assessment day!

I was invited to a performance assessment day on the 11th and 12th of April which took place in Loughborough, a limited number of athletes from this assessment day where then asked to race in Wales in the European qualifiers, i was one of them!

The swim went well on (Saturday), i went out in a 1.08 for the first 100, then averaged 1.12s and finished with 9.48 for 800m which i was pleased with as it was my first 800m timed ever. this gave me a good place to start for the following day which would be the bike and run.

The next day (Sunday) i started in 35th position, starting just ahead of a mass of people who had similar swim times i found myself in a good group for the bike, however the wind was very strong and i was not prepared well for the winds force and ended up being blown out of the group and once out of the group the wind made the bike part of the day hell, i narrowly avoided being lapped out (unlike almost half of the field) and got onto the 5km run which considering the conditions i was well please with, i finished in 31st position and was chosen to race in Wales on the 16th of may!
as always thank you to my sponsors Zone3 for the glasses and The Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust for helping me get there with funding!

BRING ON WALES!
