The Australian Pro 70.3 Championships were held in Mandurah, WA over the weekend. I had targeted this race as an "A" race and was really keen put in a good performance and build on my 1st place at the Victorian Olympic Distance Championships two weeks prior. However unfortunaltey I came down with a chest cold a few days prior to the race and was fighting a loosing battle to recover in time. I tried to convince myself I'd be fine to race, however once out on the course it was a real battle and I was up against it all day. Looking back, the smartest decision would've been to DNS, but that's the beauty of hindsight I suppose! Despite my mediocre performance, I'm still proud of finishing the race and came away with 9th place pro female.
Mandurah was great location for a 70.3 and the organizers and volunteers did an amazing job to host such an event. Congratulations to all the other competitors for toughing it out in some of the hottest racing conditions I've ever experienced. Big thanks to number 1 supporter, Mum, for travelling with me and cheering me on!
For now it's time to get this body right before tackling Canberra 70.3 next month.
Thanks for reading :)
