But I'm glad I went for it and got a gap because I really wanted to walk the end of it."I've been feeling good in training and just strong and happy and in a really good place. I'm really enjoying my new coach and my new group. I didn't expect to win or anything, but I just feel strong and confident."Taylor-Brown's fellow Britons Holly Lawrence and Lizzie Rayner came fourth and sixth, respectively. Their compatriot Kate Waugh, the defending women's T100 champion, missed the event because of a calf injury.The next women's T100 event takes place in Vancouver in August with the T100 World Championship final in Qatar in December.Related topicsTriathlon
