Liverpool Triathlon - debut at Olympic distance

My first Olympic distance event and to mark this occasion I made my debut on my new Felt B12 TT bike. What a difference that made – the tri bars felt awesome – totally different and much more of a fluid ride than on a standard road bike! The salt water swim produced some quick times and I got a PB of 25 minutes. My 10k splits on the bike were faster than I have ever ridden before, although the turns at each end of the lap could have been tighter and faster. I dropped a position on the third bike lap but managed to get this back on the run where I achieved another PB of 45:34. My transitions went well overall but I need to master running barefoot whilst steering the bike with one hand! I am really pleased with my performance but know that there is loads more room for improvement.

Age Group Finish 1st
Female Finish 7th
