The Goat Farm Trail Team ๐
The Herd from the Stable was strong this year not just physically but mentally.
What an amazing honour to help guide 33 amazing athletes through the UTA course this year.
I wasnโt racing this year, however the energy and excitement I normally get from a race was magnified 33x over.
We had two goals as a team this year to be the most connected team at UTA, and to focus on ex*****on.
We never always know what our body is going to give us on the day or how itโs going to react but one thing I can say is every athlete executed the race the way they needed to based on what they were given on the day.
For some that meant withdrawing from the races not because they were weak or couldnโt do it but because they knew that that was the right thing for them and to do in that moment.
To set the ego aside and take care of their health.
From the PBs to the -> 1st timers partaking in their furthest run ever -> to the people who had to withdraw.
I am proud of every single one of them.
For not only how much they showed up for themselves.
But for how they showed up for others along the way to this amazing weekend.
