On the 14th I had the Blenheim triathlon which was hosted in Blenheim palace, the venue was spectacular with the amazing views of the lake and palace,I had a good warm up and a pre-race massage from my masseur jaqui gordon then went and positioned myself at the swim start behind a fast looking swimmer, the start was frantic and fast as always however i was pulled along by the other swimmers around me and ended up very high up.
Leaving the swim i was in the front pack in the top 15 however going into transition i had problems finding my bike and ended up just behind the 2nd pack having lost about 30 seconds
On the bike i caught up to the 2nd pack and managed to pick a few people off before going into the 5km run where i was crippled by a stitch due to having worked so hard on the bike.
Although disapointed with my run and transition i can learn from my mistakes and be happy about the bike and the swim! I spoke to Zone3 whilst at the race who sponsor me for my amazing wetsuit and trisuit which helps me perform to the best of my abilities in the swim
