At the Triathlon European Championships in Copenhagen Kate Allen won two silver medals within 24 hours. One in the individual and one in the relay competition. Quick reactions rather than endurance, however, were needed in the following word rap.
Happiness: Is what life revolves around.
Doubt: Means that I have to analyse a problem more intensively.
Rhythm: I have to find during the race, otherwise nothing works.
European Championships: The happiest day I’ve had for a long time – at least to do with sport.
Copenhagen: A great city.
Last kilometres: A mental game.
Allen factor: A rumour – I’ve never experienced it.
Fate: I believe in it.
Winning: I love it.
Losing: Can’t stand it.
Finish line: No matter how far in front you are or how good you feel, the race isn’t run until you cross it.
Weakness: I focus on my strengths, not on my weaknesses.
Competitors: Without them, there’s no race.
Chocolate: Pure indulgence, don’t think of it as a sin.
Motivation: Whatever you do, you always have to have a goal.
“Little Athletics”: One of my nicest childhood memories. I was four when I first took part in them.
Ironman: Damn tough.
Potential: You have to believe in yourself to recognise what you’ve got.
Courage: If you want to get to the top, you need a whole lot of it.
Limits: Everyone has them ... but I don’t actually let things limit me from achieving my goals.
Perfect day: Don’t know if that exists ...
