Coach Nikki NMHF

When Deadly Gross was first announced, I was straight into the Purple Army group with...

"I'm doing this...who's in?"

What followed was weeks of hesitation, persuasion, planning, injuries, re-planning, organising and, if we're being honest...a fair bit of fart arsing about. 😂 It even earned itself the nickname "The Curse of the Gross."

But somehow, at the eleventh hour, it all came together.

Myself, Coach Sammi, Dom and Devon stood on that start line...and we finished it.

🥇 Gold Mori medals.
🏅 9th overall.
🥉 3rd in our age category.

The results are brilliant, but that's not what I'll remember most.

I'll remember four people genuinely enjoying the challenge. Supporting each other, checking in on each other, digging deep when it got tough and staying true to what the Purple Army is all about.

No missed reps.
No cutting corners.
No shortcuts.

Just honesty, grit and a group of mates seeing what they were capable of.

We crossed the finish line absolutely buzzing, completely exhausted and a little emotional. The conversations afterwards were all...

"I loved it...but I probably won't do it again."

Fast forward to the release of next year's date...

Me messaging Sammi:

"Fancy doing Doubles?" 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

So...I guess we'll see you next year. 💜

▪️Tuesday Training▪️

Bit of a strange training week this week....

Life, work, and scheduling have meant things haven't looked quite how I planned, but I'm adapting and making sure I get to the classes I can, whatever they may be....

Not every week is about perfect preparation—sometimes it's about staying consistent, staying flexible, and keeping momentum moving forward.....

Just 5 days until DEKA Strong. The work is done, the focus is there, and now it's about showing up ready to give my best. Let's go....

....so, I just received the most epic pair of Nike SB Dunks!!

Thanks best anniversary present ever!!

Skating Saturday?? 🛹
