The team secured a spot to the finals by 0.4 seconds. To illustrate, that's about the average rate a person blinks. i.e. you're mid-blink and that's it, you've missed it.
For Finals, the nerves are up because now we're fighting for a spot on the podium.
Deep breath - we've trained like we're racing so that we can race like we're training. We got this!
We emptied our tanks! Everything! ALL OUT! Like that race was our last! My heart was pounding! My lungs were burning!
3RD PLACE 🥉
The past month has paid off. We didn't know what to expect because the environment is so new to us - alas, we did our best and the results speak for itself. So proud of our team! 💪 And super thankful for this community's support! ❤️ love y'all very much! ❤️
We're taking rest for the week; a few of us are going to barre tomorrow, with special request to my barre teacher to guide us through stretching to release and recover post-race.
