In Madrid World Cup last weekend I crossed the line almost in last place and then yesterday in Blenheim I won.
It was a very cold day at Blenheim this year, to be honest I was a little concerned as I’m very lean at the moment so I knew I had to push the pace to stay warm.
I had a great swim and exited the water in 2nd place and with the run from the water to our bikes T1 being about 1km up hill I new it was a good place to make a break. i got onto my Focus Izalco Chrono with about a 5 second lead so I went for it but was caught at about 3k on the bike by a pack of 10. There were some attacks from the pack but it came to nothing so I new it was going to be a fast 5km run. I got into T2 first and lead out onto the run, I was hoping it was going to be a straight forward win from there but I was joined by Jonney Brownley so we ran side by side for about 3.5k when I decided the only way I could win would be to attack on the final climb and it worked which gave me the win.
That was my second Blenheim victory so it was a very good day for me. I realized last week in Madrid I had some kind of virus and just didn’t have the energy which lead to a poor performance in my books. My next race is Washington World Cup in the US.
