That is so awesome! But why does she doubt her abilities? That’s very rare in elite athletes.
She needs someone to tell her how amazing she is every single day, that way she can have a goal time of 9:45 and be disappointed like the rest of us 
SP,
I had no idea you were having GI issues on the run. I waved to you and said hi both times you passed me, but you never acknowledged me - now I know you had more pressing issues to concentrate on!
Again, excellent job, and best of luck in the build up for Kona.
Also, don’t forget - you’re awesome, plain and simple awesome.
