The Long Road 03/09/2022

The Long Road Athletes want to compete and will compete even when hurt. It is their very nature that injury is ignored, often times until it becomes detrimental to a career. Harriet Owen suffered a serious concussion in March of 2021 at a training camp; but kept trying to compete and push herself. She paid a price for it, and eventually had to end her season early and suffered with post-concussion syndrome long after she stopped racing. Now, months later she is putting everything back together and hoping that 2022 will be the year that she can return, injury free, to the top of the podium.
