After returning from Charlotte I headed off to Kelowna for Nationals the same weekend as the Olympic triathlon. This was a bit hard knowing I wanted to be racing elsewhere and where I was racing there were the top guys missing. Regardless I put my mind to having a strong race and pushing my fitness up for the rest of the races in the season.
Again, good swim, out in the front with a small group of three but main pack caught after 4 of 7 laps. Then it was a run race and I was feeling good about my run. I took it out hard and opened a gap and had 1min by 5km and then settled in to a comfortable pace and came across the finish line with a 1:30min lead and the National Championship.
