Tough race for Courtney and Team USA in Aarhus. Here is Courtney’s post race thoughts:
“Well, not really sure what to say about that one except, ouch. Definitely one of the hardest days of racing I’ve ever had and without a doubt the toughest race I’ve ever experienced. Disappointed I wasn’t able to contribute more for the team, but always grateful for the opportunity to represent the USA. Thankful for such a wonderful support system, the group of women I had the opportunity to race with, and all the cheers out on the course yesterday. Taking away a lot of lessons to hopefully come back and redeem myself in a couple years. Looking forward though to getting back to my favorite time of the year, steeple season! “
