Today I managed to sneak into the top 10 at the European Champs.

I had a frustrating day. I had a good swim start, but in the first buoy melee my wetsuit got unzipped, so the rest of the swim was just a fight to not sink! I felt like the Titanic! The bike was mostly a tactical affair, but it was great too see Ali and Jonny getting away to help Ali grab the title.

On the run, I mostly lead out the main pack for about 6km by which time we were battling for 3rd (behind Ali and Gomez), but faded a little in the last 4km but hung on for 9th posting a pretty decent run split.

As with most of this season, not ideal, but progress again, especially on the run.

Next stop, London World Champs Series in 3 weeks. The field is STACKED, anyone who is anyone is there...it's gonna be a biggy!
