RIO NIGHTMARE
She says she learned from the challenges she faced competing at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where she was ranked 26th. "My first Olympics in Rio, I look back and think it was very overwhelming. I stayed on track as best as I could, but even in the lead-up, both of my bags and bike went missing. Then my bike turned up completely broken and I missed the first course familiarisation because of it, it was a bit of a nightmare to be completely honest. I remember borrowing [Australian marathon runner] Jess Trengove's running shoes because I didn't have my shoes. Those things happen and you can only learn from that. Regardless of that, I feel like I was just disappointed in my result. I was in a group on my bike and we lost too much time. I didn't run to my full capacity. I feel like I learned a lot from the whole experience and the race itself - I definitely tried to, once I let myself be upset about it. I got back on the horse, had some dramatic changes in my training and had probably my best year in 2017 after the Olympics." (sportingnews.com, 04 Jun 2021)
