The fiel in the pro women's category was strong, with Daniela Ryf, who has 8 consecutive victories in this race, and Ashleigh Gentle, currently world number 1 in the PTO rankings.
I did not let my competitors scare me away. Right from the start of the swim, I took the lead and broke away from the rest of the group. I quickly widened the gap and swam the 1.9km solo in the lead. I felt very powerful and totally in my element. I came out of the water in 23:23 with a considerable lead of 56sec over Daniela and 58sec over Ashleigh, who came out second and third respectively. It was a fantastic feeling to come out of the water in the lead to the cheers of the Swiss public. I set the course record in swimming.

So I took the lead on the bike and led for the first few kilometers before being overtaken by Daniela and Ashleigh. The bike course climbed well, with two loops and a total of 1200m of positive elevation gain. I lost places on the second lap and arrived in 8th position in the second transition after 2:34:59 of cycling.

The running course was almost completely flat, with two 10.5 km laps and 56 steps through the old town. I was overtaken by a competitor after the first lap. Then, on the second lap, I was able to pick up the pace and fought hard to regain my place. I ran a good second 10km and was able to accelerate again for the last 5km. I ran a good second 10km and was able to accelerate again for the last 5km. I finished the race in 8th position with a time of 4:32:33. It was very hot during the race, but I kept well hydrated and cool throughout. I had a great time racing in Rapperswil on Sunday, with a fantastic crowd and the precious support of my coaches, my friends and family who came to support me on. I've made great progress in both swimming and running. Of course, I still have a lot of work to do, but I'm moving in the right direction. t's motivating me for the future.
