What an Experience …
September 11 – 16, 2013 – ITU Age Group World Championships, London, UKI wanted to write a race report about my experiences at the 2013 ITU Age Group World Championships ever since I returned from London, but somehow work and life always interfered. It was an amazing experience, but I just could not get my thoughts on paper. So, instead, I post this photo gallery to give you some small glimpse of my race on September 15, 2013 in London. Enjoy!
