Silver Overall, 1st Age Group
2.05.55 (PB)
Run 1- 10KM 37.37 (PB) (5th fastest run split)
Tough first run with the girls going off very quickly. I was expecting to be one of the first over the run so I had to keep my head here and concentrate on my pacing as I was overtaken by 3 or 4 girls. I knew if I went too hard here I would blow up later. Came in in a bunch of 4 girls, 5th in. Time for a quick transition, made up a place here, then I had to chase like mad.
Bike 40KM- 1.09.57 (3rd Fastest Bike split)
Tough bike course incorporating hills, descents and fast flat bits. I knew this would be the make or break section of the race. Chased and caught two more women so now in 2nd. I was conscious of some strong bikers behind me so big ring all the way. Felt good on the bike (this never happens) and pushed hard. Never saw Horgan on the course ahead. 3 min deficit coming into T2.
Run 2 5KM- 17.13 (PB) (fastest run split)
Coming into T2 saw Duffy right behind me, time to fly. Horgan had a good 1km on me already and is a good runner. Time to chase and hold off attacks from behind. Felt good on the run, brick sessions paying off, just had to hold it together. Into final KM I knew I hadn’t got the win I wanted but I was happy with the performance and 2nd position in what was a tough and hard fought race among the best in the country (and Belgium).
