JWOC relay leg 1
Wooohooo, I love relays !!
Was excited again for this race, but knew that my body was tired and that I was going to have to put in some serious work.
I had a good spot at the start line and managed to make it across the pit of death into the woods alive ! Woohoo!
Took the road route to 1 to give myself a change to read and relax. Small bobble on 3 with a few other girls as we went a little too far right. I recovered well and breezed through the next few controls. I had the long fork on 5 and led a few girls in to that one. Coming to the last control before the spectator I felt a rush of adrenalin and was pushing hard. I slowed down a bit on the second loop, trying to pull all th remaining juice from my dying legs. A little left on 9 but recovered, and then sailed (aka had a HR of 200) through the last few controls.
Another great race and a result that I'm super proud of! Also incredibly proud of Nicole and Emma for kicking butt on their legs too! Go Canada !!
