After an incredible Commonwealth Games it was always going to be a challenge to mentally get myself up & ready to go again. Gave it everything I had, pushed the pace, & can walk off track with my head held high.
Looking forward to the medal ceremony later this evening! 🇬🇧🥂 pic.twitter.com/63vX0Dp70T— Eilish McColgan (@EilishMccolgan) August 16, 2022
