BRC's Eileen Burns competed in her second event, at the Commonwealth Games this morning, the Women's Individual Time Trial. She finished 11th overall, a fantastic achievement! The Time Trial was run over a 26km course, which included a very steep climb. Eileen completed the course in a time of 40mins 21 secs, just over 5 minutes behind the winner, and Commonwealth Champion Katrin Garfoot, from Australia.
After the event, Eileen said 'All the support has been brilliant and I appreciate it so much....gutted a bit that I missed out on the top 10. But sure we are never happy'. Eileen's husband Jason, father-in-law Jim and other family members were there to cheer her on.
