"Just read BTF website. Qualified for world champs. Did not have a good race. Had a slight cold from Friday onwards and was not feeling particularly confident of a good result, but thought I should turn up and give it a go. What a minging day! 5 degrees, wet and breezy but got within the 115% qualification time so I did enough!   I have lost half a stone in the last seven months and I think I have been overtraining on the bike so that probably had not helped my results at Grendon or Milton Keynes (as well as the cold!)although I felt a bit more fluid on the bike at Milton Keynes so now I have adjusted my heart rates we will see what happens at 70.3 Rhode Island in 4 weeks time.................
