Resilience

With Jemma's never ever give up attitude she has proven that if you want something, you can push through anything to get it. Racing Enduro is not for the faint hearted. There is no guarantee you will be able to conquer the obstacles strewn throughout the tests and trail loops. Then, add rain, an injury or two, a bad nights sleep because you could only afford the cheapest accommodation in Europe and you've got a struggle. But the feeling at the end of the race is guaranteed to be worth it. If you just keep pushing!
