Interesting....the relay will be an Olympic event in 2020 so perhaps she is testing the waters to see if she will try out for the swim leg on the female team.

The Oly Mixed Team Relay (MTR) will in all likelihood be 2 males and 2 females, each of whom SBRs the whole super sprint course. This 4-person team is the usual ITU format for MTR.

Of course it was, everything was a record because of the speedsuits being worn at the time.

100% it will be a mixed team relay with each athlete completing a super sprint triathlon before handing over to the next team member. Also, ITU is already half way through the olympic qualifying period, if she had any chance she would need to be racing ITU heavily from now to obtain the minimum points required for GB to even be able to consider nominating her for the team.
