UPDATE

  
Just got back from Hungary after a week away with triathlon England/ British triathlon. It was a training camp leading up to the Tiszaujvaros ETU Triathlon Junior European Cup, unfortunately I found out when registering on Friday that I was in fact not allowed to race due to my age, along with 3 others. Things like this happen and it was no one’s fault! It was still great to be there and watch the race and be able to train with everyone there. Hopefully I will be there next year with being able to race and now I know the course and how the semi final to finals work. It was a great experience.
A few weeks ago I also raced at British triathlon Championships in Liverpool. As always Liz Hood, Hermione Waterman and I swam together an then went out onto the bike together and again Megan Macdonald caught up and worked us very hard on the middle leg!!! As we went out onto the run, Meg and Liz managed to scrape a 5-10 second lead on me! the run consisted of a 2 lap out and back course! here it was down to the 3 of us racing it out! The other girls were running together and I wasn't going to be dropped! After the first lap I was about 3-6 seconds behind now! After the U-turn, Meg made a big kick and left Liz, I knew I would have to go as well. Here I passed Elisabeth and pulled away from her but Meg was going really strong and just managed to pull away and get the win! I managed to hold onto second which I was ecstatic with as it was my first podium of the season!! Hopefully I will carry on this medaling at the last race of the season at Eton! I will update you after that!!!
