@gudrunhespel: The perfect training block. The perfect preparation. The perfect circumstances. The day you finally feel 100% ready. I definitely didn’t feel ready when I stood at the start of the 70.3 World Championships this weekend. The weeks leading up to it were messy. I missed sessions, quit sessions, doubted myself and seriously questioned whether I should even race. But I showed up anyway. And maybe that imperfect preparation taught me something a perfect one never could. How to adapt when things don’t go to plan. How to let go of expectations. How to keep moving when I’m not feeling my best. How to trust that I can figure things out along the way. Because you don’t need everything to go right to give yourself a chance. Sometimes you just need to start. Stop waiting until you feel perfectly ready. You might be waiting forever. ❤️
