Competing at Beijing in the 2011 World Championships in my second triathlon, opened my eyes to the challenging and wonderful world of Triathlon. Competing on a friend’s bike and without a wettie I got schooled by almost everyone on the swim and bike, before turning it into a running race. Now with a year more specific triathlon training under my belt, advice and guidance from top coaches and some top age group results, I was looking forward to testing myself again against World Competition. On race day it looked like we had lucked out with the weather. I got to transition to find my bike blown sideways and attached to the bike next to mine, but It was finally dry and the sun was out so I wasn't complaining........ Yet!
