WARNING - Foot injury within these pics! 🦶

Ironman Lanzarote debrief

So I lined up ready for Ironman Lanzarote ready, had a great swim coming out second in the water to none other than Lucy Charles-Barclay 🧜🏼‍♀️ 2nd place out the water - box ✅

Onto the bike, my legs weren’t quite there but I had a really solid bike fuelled well, hydrated well, and paced my effort pretty perfectly for the day ready for a good run off the bike, I’d come off the bike in 4th and ready to battle for the podium and a World Championship slot (top 4 at this race)

Where things went wrong 😅
I’d dismounted my bike and ran into transition (at this point bear foot 🦶 due to the nature of triathlon racing) at this point I realised the flooring that had been put down was VERY HOT (see last picture of my face when I realised 😂🥵) at this point it was probably a good 4+ minutes of running on this hot floor to get to the transition tent with our running gear. As I made it to the tent I realised the flooring had burnt my feet and they had blistered almost instantly (see pictures, sorry fairly graphic haha! 🦶)

So it wasn’t to be, it was decided not to try and run a marathon with the damage to my feet and let them heal ready for the next race in a few weeks!
So overall not the best day but plenty of positives that fitness is trending in the right direction ⬆️

Thanks for all the support on here, this is where you see everything first and all behind the scenes content 🫶 so swim + bike ✅ next up swim, bike, run!! 🔥
