We'll be back into it on Wednesday. 🏃‍♂️💪

What a day at the Toowoomba Wellcamp Sprint Duathlon State Championships & World Qualifier! 🏃🚴🏃

The Toowoomba wind was absolutely relentless. There were times you were pushing hard on the bike but felt like you weren't moving, and let's just say the snot production was next level! 🤧😂

🥉 I was thrilled to finish 3rd in my age group bringing home a Queensland State Championship medal and earning some mad qual points🇦🇺. Not bad considering I have been nursing an injury.

But I'm more proud of Andrew, finishing 5th in his age group. (Mind you - he was 3 seconds faster than coach, I don't think I'll hear the end of that 😆). Even more impressive... this was his first ever solo duathlon! What a way to debut. Earning some great qual points as well.

No PBs today, but you simply can't compare times on a course and in conditions like that. Today was all about grit.

Toowoomba... you were brutal. So proud of us both! 💪🌬️

📢 Reminder There will be no Group Sunday Long Run until 26th July. If you're building towards a race and following a structured Kraken training plan, make sure you still get out there and tick off your scheduled long run kms. Consistency is what gets you to the start line ready to race. 🐙🤟🤟

🧠 Friday Thought

Running may be an individual sport, but the journey is rarely a solo one. The encouragement at the tough moments, the shared kms, and the celebrations at the finish line remind us that we go farther together than we ever could alone. Cherish the community beside you—it’s one of the greatest gifts running gives us.

Tonight's theme: Ribs over hips. 🏃‍♀️⛰️

The hills don't lie. They quickly expose posture, but they're also one of the best places to build it.

Staying tall, keeping the ribs stacked over the hips, and driving with purpose turned every hill rep into an opportunity to build stronger, more efficient running. Another quality session in the bank! 🦑💪

We had a fluoro hat sighting, and by cool-down time I thought we’d lost our British friend... turns out I just didn’t recognise Alex Sellers in a jumper! 😂

Great friends, good laughs, and a few technique chats along the way. Learning to become better, more efficient runners. 💜

Well done gals 🤩🐙
