Kirsty decided to get add some water into her biking & running, so headed off to Burghley to compete at the standard distance triathlon that was both the English & British National Championship.

The week into the race had seen an enforced taper due to Kirsty cutting her foot which had minimised swimming & running.

Kirsty has been diligent in improving her swim fitness & technique during the close season but still anticipated that she would be behind the leaders coming out of the water.

Out onto the bike and Kirsty posted the 3rd best bike split to move her up through the pack, the fastest run split of the day saw her end up on the podium, taking 3rd place in both English & British Championships.
