Support when times are tough
Samson, don’t give up. I know you are disappointed but bad races happen to everyone. We can work on this together.
I am very disappointed and want to give up.
He doesn’t have his best race and finishes in 5rd position and is 40s outside his PB. He still qualifies for Nationals but he is disappointed.
