Fast forward to two months later, and making some large inroads on her prevention journey, we launched the Cairns to Cape York mountain bike Experience Not Felt Possible (ENFP). Not surprisingly, Selena calmly accepted the challenge and with the help of our Multi-Disciplinary team she committed to ‘mastering her game’ of cycling and preparing her body for the 8 days, over 600 km experience.
Having never completed anything of this magnitude, Selena remained disciplined, inspiring her partner, Tim, to even join in on the experience. Whilst the same was for most Queenslanders, intra-state travel opened up and could have presented itself as an opportunity to decrease her training, but alus, Selena took it another step further not only improving week to week with her prevention classes and cycling but began raising money for the ‘GO’ foundation (providing mentoring, leadership, networks and support to Indigenous Australians), and ended up raising more than $1,000 dollars to the foundation.
One week before the trip, and with the expected nerves heading into the experience, Selena was struck down with the flu. At PEAK one of our values is ‘choosing your pain’, that is we choose the pain of discipline over dysfunction, and without executing on this value prior to her illness, there would be a slim to little chance of her completing the trip.
With this in mind, and with her commitment to the experience, there was no way Selena was going to miss the trip, and successfully rode more than 450km. Everyone involved could not be more impressed with her character before, during and after it.
Selena’s story is not one that has faced adversity in the ‘traditional’ sense but is a symbol of the athlete we see at PEAK each and every day, the difference being?.. Getting uncomfortable and saying ‘why not!’
