Rachel Atherton Instagram – Trying to settle in to normal life!! The next world cup is this week & I won’t be racing… I never planned to do a full season & im trying to stick to that plan!! I knew the comedown from racing 2 world cups would be pretty deep, that adrenaline fuelled, fun filled lifestyle is hard to leave behind 💣 @athertonracing are too fun! but the exhaustion I’ve felt has been another level! Similar to newborn baby days!! I keep trying to start training again but get too exhausted to train day after day, “Millway sent my training plan thru and it’s like for a full time athlete, cos that’s what I asked for” But I don’t know if I am!! How can I be a full time mum, AND a full time athlete?!! I love both so much, & I feel guilty for doing either! I want time to train, then when it comes to leaving arna for a few hours I don’t want to leave her at all! Arna has gone mad for the boob again, constantly wanting milk, and she’s become really clingy to me, im sure she’s still in shock that I disappeared every day to “work” at the races, she still talks about the race every day “mummy big jumps , clap clap” even tho I was with her every morning & immediately after finishing riding every day, it must of still been a shock for her & she’s a bit clingy now! It’s a real head trip, trying to figure this out! I’m still so in shock that I actually won Lenzerheide & 3rd at Leogang! I always want to be real on here and showing this side of it that we all go thru is important to me as I would want arna to grow up seeing things online that are honest! @uci_mtbworldseries @redbullbike
