Robyn competed against up to 48 other women from athletes travelling from Argentina, Canada, Columbia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, Tunisia, America, to name but a few. Events were held at either Balmont or Parilly Stadium and even though it was great to compete at different stadiums, there was the occasional small hiccup, for example, it meant withdrawing from 400m as the 80m hurdles was held at the same time but in a different stadium, and a race by train from one stadium to the next to go from competing in the 300m hurdles to get to the 200m on time.
Even when you try to cover all bases with your training, you can never be sure how things will unfold. It was unfortunate for me that I tore my adductor as a result of ballistic and static stretching for the 300m hurdles. This sadly impacted as the events kept coming the injury refused to settle and resulted in a DNF for the 80m hurdles finals and withdrawal from both 100m and 400m relay events. But no matter what the hidden challenges that occur, I would not miss this level of competition for the world. All it does is make one stronger and desire to try harder . You discover others who love running as much as you, and you also make friends from around the world. It is with this knowledge that when you are training at home and perhaps you might not feel like putting in the effort, you remind yourself that your OS friends are out on their track probably thinking the same thing, so which one of you will train hard that day! I certainly tried to keep this in mind as I desire to challenge myself to discover what is the best I can possibly do and become.
