– Looks like I slept enough today. I went to bed at 9:00 PM, put my phone down, read a book and passed out. Slept until morning, great.
-Where did you find the strength?
“I didn’t even know what to expect from ourselves, because we hadn’t done a single maximum work.” I didn’t do any control training or anything. I even started with a reserve of muscles to break down, because I didn’t know when I would run out. In the final lap, everything came together, but I held on. Here, the final part of the circle is quite easy, it’s all downhill. I literally had a kilometer left to finish with my legs and maintain the advantage.
— First victory under a new name. Congratulations!
– Yes, thank you. I was preparing to work on the line today, because I have a new rifle. I needed to shoot well to be confident in my choice to change rifles during the last month of summer training. I am glad that staying zero is not bad, “Khalili said on .
