Two weeks of racing in Switzerland for Gabby Wright at the WPA Grand Prix, Daniela Jutzeler Memorial and Swiss Wheelchair Racing Nationals
It’s a cliche, though if we take care of the processes the outcomes look after themselves. The processes are nuanced from race to race and are difficult to share, though know that from the below outcomes, that the processes were well looked after.
11 Races 8 Personal Bests 2 *NEW* New Zealand records. 6 Improvements on already held New Zealand records. Countless learnings for athlete and coach.
Gabby now holds the NZ T54 Women’s record for 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m. And claimed or improved each of those five records during the last two weeks.
Now Gabby might need to do a 5000m at some point, just to get one on the board.
Congratulations Gabby on a great European campaign.
It has been an honour and a privilege to be in Switzerland coaching Gabby for these last two weeks.
