Itโ€™s easy to get caught up in the results.

The finish times. The PBs. The podiums. The age-group wins.

And rightly so. Those achievements are incredible.

But sometimes, itโ€™s about something much bigger than that.

Itโ€™s about getting to the start line. Being part of something extraordinary. Sharing an experience with thousands of people who have all pushed themselves to be there.

Not everyone will win. Not everyone will get the result theyโ€™re chasing.

But everyone has a story. Everyone has a reason. And everyone is part of something special.

Never underestimate the privilege of being in the room.

Sometimes, just being there is the achievement.

I've learned no to purely focus on results and just to cross to finish line and have a great race
