The win wasn’t standing on the podium. It was standing on the start line. 🖤

After a busy year of racing, suffering injuries and having battles with my own mind, just getting to that start line was my victory.

Somewhere along the way this year, I lost myself a bit and my love for this sport. My confidence took a hit, my performance dropped, and I started questioning whether I still belonged. Stepping out onto a course in a sponsored kit not wanting to disappoint anyone including myself is a tough mindset to shake, one that nearly called it quits on this season completely.

It’s hard to accept a regression in performance when you know what you’re capable of. But maybe the win isn’t always the time, the PB or the podium. Sometimes, it’s showing up when your confidence is at its lowest and proving to yourself that you do still belong. You can still do this.

The confidence will return. The strength will come back. I won't let one difficult season define what I’m capable of.

For now, I’m taking the win that matters most: finding myself again, surrounded by my people 🫶🏼

This isn’t the end after all, it's a new beginning...

Always forward. 🔥💙
