What a competition 🤩
To say two months ago I was still saying no to coming, I’m so glad these amazing ladies persuaded me to give it a go.
Taking time out from work and the family is always a hard decision to make, let alone the cost. The thought of spending money on myself and not on the family never sits well with me but I’m so glad I came.
I’m glad I came, not only for myself but having watched Martha swim yesterday I now know it really does inspire them to try and give things a go.
As a team we nailed every single event. Although no medals are to be rewarded for the relays we got GOLD in all 4 events and 3 national records 🎉
As an individual I walked away with 4 SILVER medals and a GOLD. Knowing Will and the kids were watching my live back home made me kick that extra bit harder and it worked. To finish the weekend with a gold fills me with so much joy and pride.
As a club we have been ace. The competition has been tough. Swimming against 17 countries including the world record holders is a daunting task but we showed up, we gave our all and we can walk away with our heads held high.
Someone has mentioned South Africa next year 🤔 I’ll sleep on that!
