British Club Relay Championships
Racing last week with the Linebreak Team was a fantastic experience! I was so excited from start to finish; I couldn’t stop smiling or jumping up and down. I couldn’t wait to race! Following coach’s plans had gone to a T and I was feeling stronger and stronger all the time. It was excited being tagged in the swim in such a high position after Mark and Katie swam so well. I wasn’t used to having so much space being out with the leaders! I of course dropped a few places with the swim being my weakest discipline but tried to hold my own and I knew Dermot would regain the places I had lost on the last leg. The bike course was brilliant.....for once Boss let me put it in a big ring so I was really pleased with my split which was over 2 minutes faster than last year. My legs stiffened up before the run and I was a bit disappointed with my time for that but it was definitely a long 5k and myself and the rest of the team had done enough to earn a top ten position in a field of quality athletes. I loved this event, there’s a real buzz about it......but above all I loved racing with such great athletes and being looked after by Bill & Pam who managed to get me to where I needed to be on time and with the correct kit (miracle workers!). A big thank you of course to Coach for his motivational speeches on the day (“Don’t hope......just do!”) and Linebreak our sponsors for supporting us throughout the season.
