After being delayed in Orlando over 24 hours then on an overnight flight for 8 hours, a ridiculously long car journey from Gatwick to Derbyshire, then a 10 minute nationals practice - you could say I was pretty tired! To say the journey from Orlando to Nationals was a hectic one would be an understatement. However, I made it on time to the UK Boat Nationals with my board, so all was fine... Apart from the severe jet lag!
After riding really well in Orlando I felt quite confident going into the competition. It turns out the training in Orlando had paid off as I had my best competition pass yet and was so happy with my run! I was super pleased to get 2nd at Nationals especially as I was so close with only 2.5 points off of first place! Well done to Charlotte Bryant for taking the win and Charlotte Millward for 3rd. All the girls rode really well and it was a great final to watch!
