In these series you will be able to follow her on her Olympic Dream. Today she tells about how she experienced the last days before the Olympics.

 

The final countdown to my Road Race has come,  on Sunday I will be at the start line of my first Olympics Games. I arrived at Japan last Sunday and since that I did several recons of the course. Tried to get used to the heat and the time. And now I feel that I did everything that I could to get here in good shape, and COVID free, after my race at La Course, I went to Andorra to do some altitude training and to be able to be isolated and avoid any risk of catching COVID, so, I got really exited when my test came negative and I was able to travel. 

So now, here I’m, getting a bit nervous every day and even a bit scare about what it’s gonna happen on Sunday. But whatever the result, I’m trying to at first feel happy and proud of myself and also grateful to everyone who helped me to get to this point, I will give my best and enjoy this experience. Thanks for follow my journey
