XC season mornings 🤝 fear of not being up on time

Ran a ten mile tempo in 52:26 on the course & still absolutely nailed the note in rivers & roads about 3 mins later.

Tough but a lovely chat with the guys O'Colly Sports . Always happy sharing memories of olly with those who weren’t lucky enough to know him.

Race season part two with my guys 👹 - big 12 Conference - Texas Tech - NCAA Regionals - Mizzou - NCAA Nationals - Stillwater 🫶 - Liverpool 🤷🏼‍♀️ - Euro u23s 🤷🏼‍♀️ Favourite time of the year.

In a house full of Americans, pray for me.

Tough 90 minutes of football.

Elson & Heneghan going 1&2 at the European xc short course trial is the definition of : “couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke(s)”.

Couldn’t make it home for the trial, grateful for the faith, next stop Turin !!!!

First conversation of the day, second day home : Tony telling me he came 29th @ ncaa xc to my 32nd (morning ruined) & proceeding to a lecture on how the ncaa is nowhere near as deep now as it was in the 80s 👍🏼 father & son all Americans tho so that’s cool.

Absolutely only one man qualified to lead GB through croc pit George wheeler

Let’s have it 🫡 #gbvestmerchant

2:11.53 sorry what 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Buzzing for all my mates on this, genuinely. However, the two European u23 10,000m champions will not be supported & deemed unlikely by the governing body (& an algorithm) to make a major games in the future. It’s not about what funding we’ll miss, it’s the lack of belief.

Our friends from across the pond!! Good luck all!!
