Europeans Championships
July 8th, 2010 by Will
We had a fun weekend at the European Championships this weekend in Athlone.
Firstly well done to Alistair (getting boring saying it) and Lucy who won the Juniors. Also to everyone else who raced and didn’t get medals. Everyone put their best effort in and “you can only hold your heart rate at 180 for so long!” My Triathlonteam-mate Lisa Norden claimed a bronze medal in the Senior Womens race as well so congratulations to her.
It was an incredible atomosphere out there! The Irish were very hospitable and friendly out there and the streets were lined with locals from the town all getting stuck into the racing.
I didn’t ever get going really, I finished 11th…it was a bit of a nothing race. Just didn’t have the gas, think maybe I am missing some training since Madrid/Des Moines time. I’m also looking to make some changes in the next few weeks to give me some extra kick. A bit more intensity, maximum capacity make yourself sick sessions as well as a promotion on my training volume. We will see if it makes a difference!?
Bring on the next races, but first some big training load:)
