World Championships

[muggle not]

My Granddaughter will be competing for Team USA in the 2017 Multisport World Championship Festival in Canada next week. She will be in the 18 - 39 age group competing in the Standard Duathlon. Approx. 50 Countries will be competing. She will not be at her best as she has had several injuries this past year but she is still excited about participating. She qualified last year for TEAM USA in the trials in Portland, OR

That's great! Best of luck to her.
Penticton is a nice place. A popular summer destination from Vancouver.

How exciting, muggle. I know you are so proud of her.
I hope she does well.

Thanks y'all. She is very excited about competing in the Worlds. She has had some injuries this past year and hasn't been able to train at her peak and you do have to be at your peak in this competition. However, she told me she "will" still compete!!

Well now I'm not sure if I can race...my knee is hurting again...I'm going to my ortho doc today. We will be going to Canada to vacation regardless. Man I have the worst luck. I'm praying I'll be able to but time will tell....

   This has been a tough year for me due to a knee injury. The week leading up to the race my knee flared up and I wasn't even sure I'd be able to compete. But thanks to my PT ........ & my Orthopedic Dr. ......, I was able to. I can't thank my family and friends enough for their support this past year. They kept me going and believing in myself when I was really struggling.

Results are in. GD finished 11th out of 22 competing in her age group (her age group consisted of 5 different ages). Pretty darn good all things considered.
