WOC 2018: Sprint Relay

The sprint relay was two days ago, and the team had a solid run, holding on to their seed from the previous year finishing in 24th place.


Julia started the team off, beating Australia in the run-in to the finish, only 2:31 behind the lead (Tove Alexandersson).


Julia handed off to Eric.


Eric enjoyed the course since he "likes faster sprints, and this was definitely a fast course." He didn't perform as well as he had hoped, but he corrected well and his "teammates came through and we had a solid result!"


 Giacomo was up next, and was happy with his race. He had a good first loop (there was a map flip during the spectator leg), and the second part was physically tough. In the finish he was pleased to feel like he had given everything he had that day.


Tyra anchored the team, running a controlled race to keep the team in 24th place, same result as in 2017.



Off to the woods now! Ali and Anton are running the middle this afternoon.
