USA 2009-05:
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, USA XTENEX NORTH
AMERICA PROUDLY SPONSORS PIP TAYLOR, WHO WINS THE 2009
MEMPHIS IN MAY TRIATHLON!
How did it all go down? Pip gives us the story on
her blog. (excerpts below)
"I had a good swim... I felt strong on the bike... As
I came into transition I was announced as first woman
off the bike and a quick glance behind I couldn’t see
anyone else yet so I decided I had some time to settle
in and find my run legs. ...the first three miles I took
pretty easy - just getting comfortable and finding my
own rhythm. At the turn around I could see the gap back
to 2nd and 3rd but was also starting to feel like I had
finally found my run legs and settled into race place
rather than cruise pace for the final three miles. I
also knew I was still being chased and those girls would
not let up!!
It was great to come away with a win (and a very cool
trophy) and I think the training benefits of racing will
really help in this next block. Plus it was a really fun
race - great course, lots of really cool friendly
people, really well run and organised and a different
and challenging format - I hope to be back there in
2010."
Congratulations to Pip on her win! |
