Maximum effort was reached… a little earlier than I wanted it to be.
The feild went out hot and I felt our fitness was there to go with the mid pack.
Ski me and Trav held well came out last knowing we would but also have our stronger stations later.
Sled push onwards I was in a huge hole. Trav recognised this and I had to ask him to help me out a bit more on the stations by sandwiching me in the middle.
He did that no questions asked. I seemed to get a bit of life back from the row onwards. But not much.
That’s what doubles partnerships do.
Some nights your partner is on and you may be off.
Go in with a plan. But also be quick to change it if needed with no questions asked.
We would not of come 6th if we didn’t change our game plan & I took my pride out of it knowing Trav needs to pull me along on this one.
Proud of my effort for not giving up as it was so early on in the race to feel like my legs have been blown off.
Can’t pin point why.
But sometimes you can’t & you just have to continue doing exactly what you are doing and know your time will come.
We are allowed to feel s**t about performances. That’s what makes us who we are. I’m frustrated yeah, but seriously proud at the same time for sticking with it when things got real tough so early on.
Good outing for our first elite race together. Can’t wait to run it back with my boy.
