Sponsored Athlete Scores First Professional Points
Christine Wellington has scored her first points in a ranking event in Thailand. Chrissey, who has recently gained a place in the TeamTBB squad, competed in her first event and did exceptionally well.
Chrissey beat a number of top US triathletes and came in second behind a leading competitor from Japan. This result gave Chrissey the confidence she hardly needed, but in her next race again in Thailand, she came home in first place, beating some of her personal bests alone the way, showing that there is a lot more to come from Chrissey.
Follow Chrissey's here at The Runners Guide as she progesses up the world rankings and this exciting blossoming career!
