Athlete Comments & Reviews
“First time after having a baby”
“I wanted a challenge, something to work towards and it’s my first competition after having a baby so I wanted to see what I can do.”
“You might compete against World Champions”
“Masters Games, you never know who the competition is going to be until you have a few races. Quite often they’re former Olympians or World Champions in their day. You get a very broad spectrum of athletes and their abilities over their lives which is a really good thing really.”
“You never stop learning and growing”
“This year I have hit times I haven’t hit for years. You can still always challenge yourself and do better. There’s just no excuse. You can pick up a new sport, have a go at something different.”
