I hate losing more than I love winning. That competitive fire doesn’t seem to fade with age! But in my 65th year, I suppose standing on the podium in a younger age category, competing against athletes 5–10 years my junior, is something.
That said, I’m a firm believer in the saying: “Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.” Kamil and I jumped into this race spontaneously, carrying injuries and without the preparation we both know is needed to perform at our best.
No excuses. Just lessons & I’m even more motivated by the potential left on the table. First place on the podium within reach.
Age is just a number. Ambition doesn’t have an expiry date.
