Qualified for the World Championship 70.3 next year + 4th place AG in a strong race field. 🇧🇪
Race Recap as promised
Started strong in the swim and felt good. First woman in AG and 6th fastest swim overall, even against the pro field. Super proud of this swim.
In T1, something felt off. I got dizzy and took a bit more time than usual. Not sure why, since this never happened before.
On the bike, my heart rate was way too high at the start, so I had to hold back and pace with more control. Once it settled, I felt better and still managed a solid 36 km/h average over 90 km.
T2 went better this time.
The run didn’t go as planned. The first 5 km felt good, but then my body started crashing. I couldn’t keep any water down, ended up throwing up, and oddly enough that helped me find a better pace again. After the finish, I landed in the medical tent with a fever of 38.5°C.
Not the outcome I hoped for, but I’m proud of how I raced. Mixed feelings about this race. That is part of racing: Sometimes everything clicks, sometimes it’s a dream day, and sometimes your body just says no. Mentally I felt strong all day, and I’ve improved so much on my mental game in races, together with @davidavonturedamc
Now full focus on the world championships 🌈
Kona, Marbella & Qatar
