The World Games 2022
The World Games 2022. Definitely the highlight of my career so far. I left for my long journey to Birmingham, Alabama on the 4th of July. Five flights later, I made it. The weather was a bit of a shock to the system with it being humid and mid 30’s most days. Coming from a 13hour time zone difference and winter back at home, I arrived 10 days prior to my race to adjust. I struggled training most days leading up to the event and thought it was my body struggling to adjust to the heat, however a couple of weeks prior to the Duathlon I came down with Covid and thought it wouldn't affect my training and racing but it very much did. I tried to put it behind me and focus for what was ahead. I was set to race on Saturday 16th of July at 8am and arrived at the venue about 90 mins before I was scheduled to start. I checked my bike in and went on to do my usual race warm up. We were soon called to line up and and get the race underway. The Duathlon started with a 10km run done as 4x 2.5km
