Erica in Europe

Monday 18th April 2016

Erica tells the story of her European Championships race (Sprint Duathlon):

"The race was held at Wunderland theme park which was quite interesting but worked really well. Both the run and bike courses were extremely flat. The first run started off very quickly. I went off slightly more steadily and felt strong passing people throughout.

The bike course took us out of the theme park on closed road and was quite exposed which meant it was pretty windy. A few people passed me but I managed to hold a reasonable pace. Being only 2.5km I decided to go really hard from the start of the second run and managed to claw back some positions. I finished strongly and was pleased to come 5th in a strong age group. This should have qualified me for next years event."
