My first World Championship Series race was a success this past weekend in Hamburg. I struggled a bit in the swim but felt strong on the bike and the whole race came together into one big ~40 man pack. My run was solid, too, and I ended up in 23rd place. Also, I came away with a few things I can improve on for my next WCS race which should be in London in a few weeks. Here are a few pics from the weekend:
Jarrod is the man! He won in convincing fashion and that’s the first World Cup/World Champs level victory by an American in a long time. Awesome.
The weather was pretty bad for the women’s race but that didn’t stop the huge Hamburg crowds from coming out.
The women swimming under the bridge.
Struggling to take pictures from the grandstands.
These things are delicious. I know that these are available in the United States but the writing isn’t in German so that’s not as fun.
I am slightly obsessed with Nutella.
I finally went to the Birkenstock store and got some sandals. I have meant to do that for the past three years.
