Well, what a last couple of weeks to finish the season! From the moment Noosa & Nepean were put onto my race calendar I was excited to throw my arm at a few non-drafting races. I’ve never raced Noosa before, but had heard a lot of good things about the race – who hasn’t? And Noosa did not disappoint!
I’ll keep this race report short and sweet – last Sunday I competed for Australia for the first time as an elite athlete at a World Championship grand final. Wearing the green and gold is always special, but to wear it as an elite at major championships is truly an honour. There were times this season that I didn’t think I would be on the start line in London…
Hamburg would have to go down as having the most passionate Tri fans in the world and that is why I love racing there. As I was walking into the athlete lounge I stopped right behind the grandstand to watch Anne Haug of Germany take the win in the girl’s race and I have to admit the loudness of the crowd gave me goosebumps!
