Worlds Take 2

So race come downs exist!!! And they suck lol I have been lucky enough to never experience a race come down before but have heard of their existence and after Busso 70.3 I am now very sure they exist!!

It is hard to put your finger on what exactly causes it, for me it could be the end of the season, knowing you are capable of more, being impatient of the process, not stopping and enjoying the little wins, finishing a race with a high pressure build up or most likely a combination of all of the above! Whatever it is im sure it is going to happen again as it is the curse of an ambitious athlete and I am paying close attention to how I am reacting and how I overcome this empty feeling so next time I can cope better!!!

Im guessing that it is different for everyone but for me it meant struggling to sleep, over analysing the race, signing up for another race the following week and not taking the time to recover the body and mind and worst of all is a feeling of anger and not being myself! The most frustrating part being I can see it all happening like an out body experience but am struggling to control it!!

Getting my ticket to worlds was a very emotional experience. I thought I had missed out but managed to get a roll down spot! It is funning how you don’t realise how much something means to you until there is the possibility that you might lose it. It was definitely not the way that I intended to get a ticket, but such is life!

I wasn't crying.... :p

I have had a great season this year, coming 3rd in the Open category for my first time racing the Sunsmart triathlon series and thoroughly enjoyed racing the high calibre athletes in WA and have learn so much about racing and how to perform at that next level.

I want to thank everyone that has supported me and believed in me, I am over whelmed with the love and support I get on a daily basis and the reason I get up at 5am every morning and train every night is to chase the big dreams your support and belief gives me the courage to pursue! This includes first and foremost Luke Morris, Mum and Dad and my family, Blackfins and Pursuit Squad members, Mike Gee, Steve Gleeson, Greg Murphy (Joondalup Remedial Massage), 32Gi (Nick Kitis), Rob Sutton, amazing friends Ashleigh Raith, Sarah Cairns, Sabina Rahman-Horstmann, Katie Hughes, Claire Hawkins and many more who I do not see enough and miss on a daily bases and so many others, you know who you are. Thank you so much and this is just the beginning!!
