3:02 on the GC. Great run 🔥🇳🇱🇳🇿
A huge congratulations to Floor on an outstanding 3:02 marathon today on the Gold Coast.
This training block has been one of commitment, consistency, and resilience. After a minor ni**le back in May, she never lost sight of the bigger picture. We managed the setback, trusted the process, and she came back stronger, nailing session after session with real purpose.
Today's race was executed almost perfectly. Floor settled into the sub-3-hour pace group, stayed patient, and raced with confidence through the bulk of the marathon. As the marathon always does, it asked a few tough questions over the final 5km, and it managed to claw back a little time. That's the nature of 42.2km.
This result is about so much more than the clock. It's about turning up day after day, doing the work when no one is watching, and building the fitness and belief that performances like this are possible.
I'm incredibly proud of the way Floor approached every part of this campaign. Here's the exciting part… 3:02 isn't the end of the story. It's another stepping stone. Based on what I've seen over the past few months, I have no doubt that the sub-3-hour barrier is within reach. It's only a matter of time.
