⚠️ Lessons learnt from Hyrox WC’s ⚠️
〰️ Find yourself a doubles partner who will carry you over the line when situations get messy 😢 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️
〰️ Some may say I’m crazy and ignored the warning signs but I’m still so glad we finished that race. I’d of felt way worse for Paul not picking up a medal and although I haven’t even looked at where it all went wrong, we would have taken a 1:08 a year ago. 41st in the world for combined AG and it gives us a starting point✔️
〰️ Not every race is going to go smoothly. I honestly felt the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been leading up to this one. The heat in the venue, tummy issues, nerves, warm ups will be different every time depending on location, country, layouts and venues. Maybe didn’t appreciate this quite so much 🥵
〰️ Chasing a time is probably not the best way forward ⏱️
〰️ Having friends watching is invaluable and I honestly don’t know what I would have been like without them. 💖 🙏💖
〰️ Look at taking out health insurance when attending a competition abroad 📈
〰️ I’m extremely grateful that I’m all good.. and of course it’s not put me off. Yes I’ve seen the doctors. I’ve had an ECG and bloods done and still waiting to see more doctors so can’t say I haven’t been checked out and sensible afterwards 🏥
〰️ Time to enjoy the summer and train entirely on my own terms for a bit.. then make a plan for some unfinished business 💥
PS - Nice is my new favourite city break 🇫🇷
Pictures pending 📸 .. but just proves you only see people’s highlight reels guys. It was a bloody scary weekend and some hard moments to get my head around.. but we move 👊
