Elodie Burdett was back in action this weekend representing Team Kennet in her 2nd ever triathlon at the Bristol & District Junior event held at Henbury leisure centre. A very strong swim followed by a super slick T1 saw Elodie in the lead half way through the bike leg. Pushing the pace in tricky wet conditions saw Elodie go over the handlebars on one of the downhills. Coming into T2 in last place, she put the hammer down and ran herself up to 3rd with the fastest run split of the day in her age group and just 7s off 2nd place.
