Sooke Race

Instead of writing a big long race report of the Subaru Sooke race, I've decided to try it in more of a picture format (because I had my dad's camera with me). Plus, procrastination here is at it's greatest today!

Simply put, my race was ok. I was sick for about 2 weeks and still sick race morning, so I knew that it would be a "give it what you have, and don't expect anything crazy" type of scenario. I swam a new 1500m PB (actually I felt amazing on the swim!) and even though the run was all types of horrible for me, (cramps, diziness, etc) I managed to pull out a new olympic distance 10km PB too. The course was very challenging, the bike was just epic. I was actually scared when I looked way up some of the climbs and saw racers walking their bikes. The race though was my first good result, putting me as 6th woman OA.

Next up in two weeks time is Canadian Nationals in Kelowna! Less that 6 days left in Coquitlam (and 3 finals to write) then back to Rossland. The focus this week is to get in some good training sessions, major study time and to tackle my Physics and Biology 101 finals that are both on friday.

Full results of the race here.
