Every event is going to challenge you but some are more challenging than others. A tough day out for Donna on the Ochils at the weekend, with some navigational bumps in the road, but the finish line shows up for everyone that refuses to quit. Bloodymindedness and a strong second half made sure that she got her medal, despite various obstacles. I always like to say that you learn more from the hard days out than the easy ones and this one was definitely the former.
Since her last race at the Devil in April, Donna has been training consistently and we’ve tried to keep the training weeks fresh and fun whilst juggling an ever-changing work calendar, grandparent duties, race marshalling, race crewing, club runs and socials. Might give her a week off to recover after that race though. Lots more to come before 2027!
