I like that final sentence. Important not to dwell. When we train in temperatures ranging from 0-8 degrees all winter and suddenly we are faced with what felt like 15+, it’s going to be difficult to adjust. So I think it is possible a caught a lot of people out and even up the field where I was, there was a surprising amount of walking going on, and even more slowing down. I think the water stations was an unfortunate occurrence and possibly just down to the large field but also the extra demand for water. I was so thirsty at that first stop. I think the fact you were able to support Jess at the end was touching and no doubt she appreciated it. Tick that one off, keep moving forward and know there is better ahead. What I would say is it’s always an enjoyable experience from my point of view having you at a race, as you are always positive, upbeat and support others. Often I tell myself if I can help make other peoples experience better with my own presence then that’s more important than anything else and I think you always achieve that 🧡🖤
