EFFORT IS ALWAYS REWARDED! 🥇🥇🥇🥇
Saturday was Field Events Day at the @barbadosnationalseniorgames hosted by @peoplebds , and I walked away with 4 Gold medals in the 45–49 category! 🏆🇧🇧
But here’s the thing… the medals are not what I’m most proud of.
I’m most proud of the progress. Of seeing the work I’ve been putting in translate into stronger performances, new personal achievements and two new division records.
Here are my results:
🏏 Cricket Ball — 45.37m 🥇 NEW RECORD
2025: 42.86m
🥇 Shot Put — 8.87m
2025: 8.82m
🥏 Discus — 23.22m
2025: 26.53m
🎯 Javelin — 24.59m 🥇 NEW RECORD
2025: 23.48m
So many lessons throughout the day...
Sometimes the lesson isn't in the result we expected. It's in what the experience reveals about us.
What I appreciate most is that I was intentional in 2026 about becoming fitter, faster and stronger... and that work showed up when I needed it.
The journey continues.
I have much more to learn, and I am already clear about areas I want to work on so I can continue developing and perform better in 2027.
Because for me, this isn't just about winning medals.
It's about getting better.
Getting stronger. Staying consistent. Being coachable. Trusting the process.
And enjoying the journey of active aging. 💪🏾🧠✨
A special thank you to my teammates Jason and Pat. It's always a pleasure sharing energy, encouraging one another and celebrating each other's achievements. Congratulations on your medals! 👏🏾🏆
And thank you to the @barbadosnationalseniorgames team for putting together a well-organised event and for the thoughtfulness shown toward the athletes—from the tents providing shade at the competition areas, to the staff support, water, fruit and the efficient flow of the day.
Those details matter, and they were appreciated. 🙏🏾
Four golds.
Two new records. Plenty of lessons. And even more inspiration.
I'm not done. I'm getting better. 🔥💫🧠💪🏾
