Thank you Jason Strohbehn & sofia gibson for putting your ❤️ & soul in to Lauf Gravel Worlds® 🫶🏻 I honestly was so excited after racing last year to come back & this yr didn’t disappoint. The gravel course was 🤩 AWESOME. I finally raced smart & found a great group & really enjoyed the 75 miles more than I ever have. Did my body love me the next day for the run?! 😅 not as much 🫠 but I dug deep & am super proud of myself for repeating what I set out to do!!!! 2X winner of the Double Half AND also winner of the 1/2 Marathon. With all odds stacked against me for a proper lead in I just went out to have fun and turns out ….it is possible 😜🤗 haha. I was coaching with Craig Alexander all week in Kona and was exhausted & tired. I took a red eye to Omaha getting in to Lincoln Friday. Unfortunately I couldn’t do the Tri this year as I already had committed to coaching the camp, but that can be on next years list!! I love love love this event. So proud of Jason Savill for doing what he does best pulling an all-nighter because of work and driving up getting in at 4AM only to race in a few hours. Mindblowing. You are a beast Jason. We both were stoked to come away with the Double Half Overall Winners. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 And so so proud of my athlete Lorrie for listening to my advice to come to Gravel Worlds and race the National Sprint race - at which she took the title (among the many she has) at 70yrs old. Absolutely inspirational!!! She drove back with us for a mini training camp together. 🥰 Always always grateful to The Feed !! Nutrition was DIALED. Precision Fuel & Hydration 30g gels every 30 min. And sipped on the PH carb drink mix, as well as having a separate bottle with Pillar Performance Electrolyte Mix, and we all know I won’t leave home without my SwissRX Nitric Oxide. It’s gold!! Bike as always was dialed with Formula 100 and rode smooth like butter. ☺️. I don’t take this moment for granted… I tell my friends winning isn’t everything but it sure does feel good. 🥹 Honestly you’ve heard it from me before and it is the real reason I have this deep true sense of self worth and JOY and it’s all because of my faith ~ All the Glory To God.
