Thompson's experience in the Life Time Grand Prix showcases her as an emerging talent, with significant achievements including top 10 finishes in key races and a commitment to growth.
'The most rewarding event this year was for sure Leadville 100. I targeted that race as my 'A' race. Well, I targeted all of the Life Time races this year as an 'A' race, and that was my 'A-plus' race,' Thompson said.
'I actually worked with my coach really hard on finding ways to motivate my training for the couple months leading up to that. I was finding a lull in motivation, not seeing myself progress personally. That was key,' Thompson explained.
'And the day [at Leadville] just turned out better than I could have imagined. I remember in the race being like, 'is this actually happening?' Coming to the finish line, seeing all the competitors I raced against, having family and friends right there,' Thomson expressed.
