โ€œA total nemesis for me! So hard. I lost track of the days but it was.. a lot. I felt so close for a while now but just couldn't quite get the stars to align. Patience was the key. So proud that I saw it through, especially as the heat has arrived and the pressure was really mounting.โ€

What was the trick in the end?
It took some time to get the specific strength for it, and then it took a while to keep pushing and hope for the variables to align (skin, conditions, my mental and physical). In the end the โ€˜trickโ€™ was patience and accepting the idea that I might try forever ๐Ÿ˜‚
