This is my best performance at a World Cup. I'm not sure where the confidence came from exactly, but with John and Denis's help, I really felt like I could make a jump today. I am ecstatic! I fenced effectively. Again, a slow start like the semi-final, but I brought a strong second half for a 51% success rate. The swim was slower than I hoped (.55 slower than in the semi-final), but it was still fast enough to maintain a respectable position. Going into the ride, which is generally a stronger event for me, I moved from 23rd to 12th position. I made some errors in the ride that I'd hoped to avoid, but never-the-less earned a score of 1140. From 12th, I moved to 8th, in a very exciting final run/shoot. Positions changed constantly. With strong focus, I slowly worked my way up, and on the last lap moved ahead of four other athletes. This result is very fulfilling. Naturally though, I want more. Last thing, I'd like to recognize my sponsors who made this happen-Adam Labs, PowerBar, and Lake Bonavista Dental.
