This year I've had to move into the 'open women' category due to the IWWF boat federation changing the age category rules. It was my first time competing at the nationals in this category so I was really excited but kind of nervous as I was riding against some of the best riders in the world!
I had a great qualifying run which meant I qualified straight through to the final. However, in the final I unfortunately fell twice. Despite this I was still really pleased to take home 4th place and to be ranked 3rd in the UK!
The competition was really tough and all the girls were riding awesome - it was great to watch. Well done to Charlotte for taking the win and Megz and Sian for taking 2nd and 3rd.
This weekend has definitely inspired me and I want to keep pushing myself so I can compete with these girls in the future!
