Soโฆ weโre on our way back ๐โโ โโ Honestly so happy to have run 22.19w at the Pre Classic on Saturday! As Iโm coming back from injury, I was simply looking to get out there and put together a good 200m race and then kinda see where that would get me. Was not expecting a 22.1 ๐คฉ definitely surpassed my own expectations! โโ Excited to keep building into the last few races of 2021 ๐โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโโ โโ (And no this isnโt a pic of me at Pre, but I can only find ones with my eyes closed so ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ๐ here ya go)
Tokyo Tokyo Tokyo ๐คฏโฃ โฃ The last few weeks have been insane and full of emotional ups and downs. Considering the situation, Iโm proud to have been able to lay down two 11.0 runs and come home with a relay medal. In late June there was a only slim chance that Iโd even be in a place to go to the Olympics, so to come home as a medallist is nice. โฃ โฃ But at the same time the whole thing is absolutely heartbreaking. This is not what I wanted from Tokyo at all. I canโt and wonโt pretend to be happy. Iโve worked towards this event for five years. To tear a hamstring five weeks out hurts a lot. โฃ โฃ But heyโฆ stuff like this happens in sport. Iโm not the first itโs happened to and sadly wonโt be the last. Onwards, upwards + ready to move on ๐ ๐ฅฐโฃ โฃ Thank you so much for all the support. Iโve been very MIA on socials as I was trying to get my head in the right space for the relay but I definitely felt the love. Thank You Thank You Thank You. ๐ฅฐโฃ โฃ I hope you understand why my injury was all confidential until we saw how it all panned out. Had to take it day by day. โฃ โฃ Thank you to the doctors, physios and rehab specialists who helped me get to the start line. And a huge thank you to my family, performance team, management team, psychologist and close friends who have just been so โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ with me + all of this. A tonne of tears have been shed but Iโve felt so loved and looked after. Love you all so, so much. โฃ And a huge thank you to our Japanese hosts, who put on an amazing Games and kept us safe. Such a shame that there were no spectators but we all know why and it was incredible regardless. โฃI hope youโre proud ๐ฏ๐ต โฃ Sending loads of love โฅ๏ธโฃ โฃ also, so happy that we got to take track pics with Laura!!!! We โฅ๏ธ you @lmuiruns and we are so so proud. Such an honour to have you in the annual relay medal pic ๐โฃ
a lil pre-comp photo dump โจโ โ First of all Iโve got to say that Iโm honoured to be the captain of the Team GB Athletics team for Tokyo 2020 ๐ฅบโฅ๏ธ Iโm so proud to be leading such a talented, resilient and strong group of athletes into a Games that weโve waited five years for. Itโs going to be a lot of fun.
