In July, during the Dunwich Dynamo, a cycling friend said I should try a sprint duathlon and that I’d probably qualify for Worlds. I doubted that very much, but it did ignite a little intrigue about how well I’d do in a run/bike race. A few days later, I booked Thruxton Sprint and, just in case, registered for qualification.

I was in two minds about whether I should even do the race. Getting there was a bit of a hassle without a car, including having to cycle 10km from Andover station. My running volume has also been far too low, and I questioned whether I was even fit enough.

Today, I’m so thrilled to have come away with 6th overall and 1st in my age category.

It’s even more satisfying knowing that training for this race hasn’t really felt like training at all. It’s just been a wonderful summer getting out on the bike socially and doing the thing I enjoy most.

Fitness is one thing, but how I fuelled for this race was a massive contributing factor in how I performed. Trust your fuelling and the results will follow.
