I’d like to thank the Jack Bloor Award for the support to help me be able to race in the World University Triathlon Championships in Gdańsk, Poland last weekend.
On Friday we raced the individual event, there were 75 girls racing from all over the world, it was really hot, over 30 degrees. The swim was in the sea, I had a great swim leaving the water in 4th place. The bike I started well but unfortunately by the end of the 20km bike there was a big group of 15-20 girls. The run is my weakest discipline, but I knew going into this race I was in good form, I started the run well, keeping with the front group, unfortunately just under halfway into the 5km run, I started to get a stitch. I finished in 22nd place.
I finished 2nd British female so it meant I was able to race the mixed team relay on the Saturday. I was on the second leg and had one of the fastest splits, the team ended up finishing in 4th place, just a few seconds off 3rd place.
Thanks to the Jack Bloor Fund for supporting me to be able to race in Poland, it was an incredible experience.
