The Race

The Call Room
Lining up to head out to the starting line. Checking our numbers, bibs and timing chips.

Starting Line
Moments before the gun goes off, all the athletes stand motionless.

100 Meters
Into the race everyone is battling for ideal positioning.

Hurdle Jumps
On my second lap through the second set of hurdle jumps. These were not fun.

Beach Cool Down
After the race the Women's team cool downed to the beach for a refreshing swim.

Overall Leonora had a great experience and learned a lot from it. She was 86th overall, 1st New Zealand Woman to finish. She looks forward to getting another chance to represent New Zealand and perform at a higher level. Thank you for all the support.

We have just arrived in Seville, we will be here till Wednesday when we fly home. Keep checking back for some more updates.
