Yesterday I competed in the Junior girls Enduro race at Super League triathlon Jersey. We had a very early start, with the race start at 7:30am. Whilst we were in the briefing room, the news came that due to the weather we would be racing swim-bike-run-bike-run, omitting the second swim. The swim would also be wetsuit compulsory.

I was drawn in the middle of the pontoon so got bashed up a bit on the swim but still managed to have a strong swim. The bike course was very fast with lots of technical turns and due to the rain there were a lot of crashes, but luckily I managed to stay upright.

As I started the run, I knew I would have to run fast to avoid being eliminated (lapped out) as the leader was very far ahead. Unfortunately after I had finished the run the leader had almost completed one lap of the next bike, and I was eliminated.

Overall, it was a really good experience, and I will definitely be training hard over the winter to try and qualify again next year.
