The swim was a 200m open water swim followed by a 2km run. Amelia had a good swim and left the water in 2nd position. Some of the athletes had decided not to wear a wetsuit and this meant Amelia. after removing hers, left for the run in 7th position. She quickly got into her stride and had a good run passing all her competitors, crossing the line in 1st place overall.
