BC Race Series # 2 Youth Elite Triathlon Vernon / June 26

Placement: 4th
 
Comments:  This was an open water swim.  I started the swim off well and got good positioning around the first buoy and was with the top 5 but when the person in front of me dropped off, I also lost the pack.  For the rest of my swim I was in front of the second pack, but I was still the second in my age group behind Brock coming out of the water.  On the bike I had trouble getting into my bike shoes (again) and got a bit behind.  Because this race was mixed (ages and boys and girls together), there was a pack of three girls and a boy that were working together ahead of me that I finally caught and finished the 10 k bike with.  On the run I was running at a good pace but not at my best because I was cramping from dropping my water bottle near the beginning of the bike.  I ended up in fourth place because two kids passed me right at the end and I just couldn’t stay with them.  I had used everything up!  I ended up within 11 seconds of 2nd place by the end.
