True story. My first event I begged, stole and borrowed my equipment. Friends and family rallied round. A gazebo ready for the skip, an A frame borrowed from a friend and armed with insta print business cards.
Starting out at events solo, to eventually reaching out and working with some really skilled therapists. This is where events became easier, we had a team - knowledgeable, skilled and all round nice people. Who were happy to pitch up with no guarantee anyone would jump on our couches.
O but they did!
I’m so proud of Symmetry, 7 events - 2 of those for charity. Either being part of, or solely responsible for pitching up in the race village with our flags pitched up high. Not shabby for being over 2 years old.
Events really do build community - seeing people at the start line and wishing them luck, to admiring their finish medal. To even discussing the course while you sooth their legs.
These events are magic and it is nice to see repeat racers hopping on and thanking you for the support.
We will be at Merrell Cannock Chase Challenge - 10K, half and full marathon. If you are signed up look forward to seeing you there.
