11th July 2015- Optima Aquathlon

Swim:

It was an interesting swim to say the least. At the end of every 2 lengths in a 33 meter pool, everyone had to tap a float that the marshal in that lane was holding up. I was pretty much head to head with Matthew Kossatz the whole way.

Run:

After an awful transition, I started catching up to Matthew but started really struggling. I didn't want to show him this so I made an extra effort as I passed him, hoping that I would tire him out in the process. I felt absolutely exhausted as I got to my last lap of the run but managed to keep my lead. I was awarded my prize by non other then Gillian Sanders who competes in the ITU and raced in the Olympics!!!
