Tell us about your race (limit 250 words)…: I love this race because it was my first ever open water swim as a 12 year old. My swim was solid but not my best, although I did have the fastest swim time of the top 10 women. This was probably my best bike ever, and I had the 3rd fastest bike time of the day and averaged 21.5 miles on a crowded bike course (also had to come from behind in the last swim wave!). On my watch I actually had myself at a 22.5 mph average for the bike course. I ran a 21:24, far off my PR but the 4th fastest run of the day. Matt and Holly are helping me make some modifications to my stride and I tried to concentrate on that today. I’m still having a hard time with blisters despite shoe changes and hope I can work that out before Worlds in September.
