10th Sep St. Neots Aquabike Worlds Qualifier

On one of the many ‘hottest days of the year’ in early Sep Anita  took part in the standard distance Aquabike (1.5km river swim/40kmbike). Anita had a nice fight with the weeds at the beginning of the swim, then settled and put in a decent swim with an interesting ladder exit . Lovely rolling bike course with a couple of climbs to shake things up. Scorchio 32 degrees with no wind and Anita was so glad not to have to run too. A successful event and Anita has qualified for next year’s world championships over in Malaga, yay! Foam party prep underway!
