I'm just all nerves. I think I forgot how to even pedal or run. I feel like I had never raced a half distance before. Oh, hang on, this is only my second...
I arrived here on Monday. My girlfriend had her last exam at uni today, she will fly in tomorrow. I could never do this without her. Without her mental support, her physical support, her love, her race day support...
So this is a huge 'Thank you!' to all those who support their partner's passion! It is huge to have someone in your corner who accepts that you pursue something that takes a lot of effort, time, and, in the end, also money. But it's even bigger when that person lives it together with you, is in your head, in your race, knows your splits, sees your pain, and always yells all the right words at you.
Thank you, love! 🩷 You mean the world to me!
Now let's rock this race and then enjoy 6 wonderful days by the beach!
