Strong Epic Life

I’m always talking about the expectations I have of my athletes to see things through even when they’re not getting the race they hoped for. If there’s time on the clock and they’re not injured, I expect them to keep going. Sabrina takes toughness to the next level…last year I posted pictures of her chin high in a water crossing at a race, so it should come as no surprise that she has grit and she’ll tough it put theough anoht anything. At Mamba 100 she struggled to eat or drink from mile 30 to 72. At 72 she decided to take a nap and went to her car. After an hour she didn’t feel any better so she shut off the alarm and went back to sleep. She woke up 5 hours later and grabbed her bib to go turn it in. She got to the timing table and saw there were still 8 hours left in the race to get 28 miles done and went back to her car and shoved her swollen feet back into her shoes and went back out there. She finished with 12 minutes left in the clock, the last person to cross the finish line- but likely the one who had done the hardest mental work to get it done. What a victory Sabrina- I’m so proud of you! Congratulations on a hard earned finish!!
