Euro Insight: Zoe Buckman
Time period spent in Europe?
I arrived out here in the 3rd week of June and am here till the 3rd week of September, so that will be 3 months.
Base whilst in Europe?
Teddington, London
What races did you target and how did they go?
In every one of them I aimed to run a personal best, but it is impossible to know what the conditions will be like or how the pace will go. I made the most of each race and took what I could from it- whether it was a learning experience or speed tune-up.
Most enjoyable experience?
It is hard to pick just one- the people that I met on the road, practicing my Italian in Sardinia and first win in Europe (July).
What was the lowest point?
Missing the A standard for Daegu- interestingly enough it was also when I had my first win here, but that is the nature of the sport.
Lessons learnt during this European experience?
Learning to go with the flow more- every trip is different. That is another thing that I came to embrace. Also, improving my race–craft!
