Having twice finished in the top 10 in the World Age Group Triathlon Championships and also being a former world medallist for Great Britain as part of the canoe slalom team, the swim, canoe, bike, run format was always likely to suit King.
However, in 2009 the winner Hana Svarcova from the Czech Republic had trounced the opposition in impressive style beating previous winners and was thus likely to be a tough opponent.
