One of the aspects I like about racing in Philly is that the boys and girls start together. Some athletes don’t like this, but it gives me more feet to chase, so I enjoy it! I felt ok in the swim but not my best. The course is a straight shot down the river, and I exited with a group of 3 other women and some men of course.
The bike course in Philly is super hilly. It’s a nice change of pace to be honest- so many tt courses are out and back, flat and fast so it was good to have some hills along with good technical corners. I rode hard and by the end of the bike course I had caught race leader, Sara McLarty. I came off the bike with the fastest bike split of the day and the lead going onto the run. I ran in the lead through a mile and then was passed. I matched their pace and ran with them through 4 miles and then after multiple attacks a gap formed that I just couldn’t close. I ran very solidly and crossed the line in 2nd place.
This performance kept me in the lead of the Lifetime Series.
