The one with the DQ & open solo

Standing on that start line Saturday for my pro race I felt mentally in a good place. Que the sled push that’s where everything fell apart. After this everything was a blur and I completely zoned out. To this day I don’t really know how I missed the sled pull, which to me is embarrassing. I didn’t realise what had happened until I came into wall balls. At that moment I wanted to walk off, as I felt like I cheated myself. At first I was contemplating taking a patch as I didn’t think it was deserved but then I said to myself “ I didn’t walk off when it got dark and I certainly didn’t throw in the towel when it got hard”.
To race in them conditions was not just hard but medically unsafe for myself & everyone.

Few hours later I told myself I can’t leave Tenerife with not actually completing the race.

Once I heard there was a spare open women’s solo going for the Sunday. I convinced myself to get back on that start line.

24hrs later

I found myself back on that start line, but not one moment did I talk myself out of it. The aim for this race was to just go out there and have fun. That’s what I done.

Not every race can be a PB, but some races are meant to make you feel proud. That’s how I felt by the end of the weekend

Coming top 7 in age category was the icing on the 🧁

Feeling very humbled, but my body the moment is another story 🤣

Thanks to everyone at Next Level Liverpool and Kirsty for showing your support. Really appreciate it.

Time to sign off and have some well deserved rest.

My olympia story

Last year I made my pro debut and suffered an injury mid race which forced me to DNF.

To except defeat is hard but I always knew there was reason I was never suppose to finish.

To hear the words that you had broken your neck of femur was devastating and there’s a possibility you would be able to run properly for 10-12months.

The injury I could deal with but as for the running I told them I’d be running in 12 weeks. You watch!

Fast forward 10months later I found myself back on that start line in Olympia. Not knowing what was going to happen, but the one thing I did know was that “ I was so f*kn ready”.

I played to my own strengths and weakness and it paid off.

Few weeks prior to the event I done a sim and was proud of my time. I knew 1:20 was possible but I never in a million years thought I was capable of 1:18 on my pro debut.

Crossing that finish line and seeing my time solidified everything I had worked for over the 10 months.

Olympia to me was always about getting closure on a chapter that I never had to chance to Finish.

To finally say I completed my first pro race infront of my dads second home meant more to me than words can describe

In the words of back in may 2025 KATY HYROX 2.0 INCOMING!”
I can officially say “KATY HYROX 2.0! HAS ARRIVED!

A big shout out to if it wasn’t for you none of this would have been possible.

~ Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words~

Post race de-brief

9 months yesterday I thought my life had suddenly come to an end. After finding out I broke my hip mid race in Olympia, the only question I cared about was “would I be able to run again?”
~
My physio in London at the time said “what’s your goal?”
My goal is to go back to London excel in December, is that possible? ”
He said “you don’t need me to tell you, because you already know the answer”
~
Since the day I got discharged I convinced myself if I have the drive and determination and stick to a programme then I will come back stronger than ever.
~
I knew this process was going to be physically challenging and emotional but I never thought in a millions years that It would change my whole outlook on life.
~
Yesterday being 9 months it was only right to finally take the stabilisers off and see what this hip was truly capable of.
~
Sometimes looking back on the race you pick yourself apart and say “ You know what I could of done this faster blah blah blah”.
~
To be honest at first I wasn’t happy with my time but then I had to sit back and realise you know what I am friggin damn proud of that time.
~
I told myself day in and day out “ just go one more” “you’ve got this”. From day dot I was determined to get back on that floor and rightfully claim what was mine from the beginning.
~

So what’s so special about this picture ?
~
I couldn’t bend, put my sock-shoes on or sit down 9 months ago.
This picture symbolises growth, determination and what it means to never give up.
~
Biggest win I took from the weekend was ‘Me’. Obviously my amazing coach got me to this point but it was down to me to complete my victory lap.
~
Never give it up when it’s hard because if you do it only makes it 10x harder.
~
With that said thank you so much for everyone who congratulated me over the weekend and the amazing support from my family.
~
WERE JUST GETTING WARMED UP!🐢

Day one or one day. 🐢
….
5 months of not giving up.
….
These last 5 months have been the most rewarding and I’m so grateful for the person I’ve grew into, throughout this process.
