Triple Knot - 13. Ida Narbuvoll on The Learning Process: moving from Norway, transferring, injury comeback, high mileage

13. Ida Narbuvoll on The Learning Process: moving from Norway, transferring, injury comeback, high mileage

05/22/20 • 52 min

Triple Knot

After sitting out nearly two years (sophomore and junior) due to an achilles injury and surgery, the University of Mary’s Ida Narbuvoll was just getting back into her normal training when she won the high point crown at her conference meet taking the mile, 3k, and 5k. Heading into the 2020 Indoor NCAA D2 National Championships, the 5th year Civil Engineering major from Norway was set to run the 5k as the first seed (30 seconds ahead of 2nd place with her 16:14 school record), 3k as the second seed (9:26.52), and the DMR before the event was cancelled due to COVID-19. Fortunately with the new rule change, she will have a shot to return to the track for a 6th year while pursuing her master’s. Outdoors will give her the opportunity to continue showcasing her endurance in the 10k, an event she previously established herself in.

In this episode we cover:

  • Nordic skiing & running in Norway
  • Embracing the opportunity to move to the US & compete in the NCAA
  • Transferring from the University of Edinboro in Pennsylvania to UMary
  • The challenges of injury & an absolutely incredible comeback
  • High mileage training

12. Audrey Belf on Celebrating the Moment: Transferring, Red-shirting, and Becoming a Complete Runner

After experiencing her first major injury, a sudden coaching change, and struggling with homesickness, it was time for Audrey Belf to make the courageous decision to transfer. She left the community she had formed during her 2 years at Georgetown and headed back home to the University of Michigan; the state where she had established herself as one of the all-time best and top in the country as a high schooler.

At the University of Michigan, Audrey earned a bachelor’s in Kinesiology in 2019, and a master’s in Supply Chain Management in 2020. She also took a step back from a perfectionist mindset, focused on the little parts of the process to get to the bigger goals, learned from different training philosophies, and grew into a more balanced student-athlete.

Finally, we discuss the dominoes of COVID-19 news that ultimately stripped away her last experiences as a 5th year and how she looks to reinvent herself in a post-collegiate atmosphere.

Audrey will be continuing some of her athletic pursuits as part of the USA Triathlon Collegiate Recruitment Program. To learn more about the program check out: https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Triathlon/Elite/Collegiate-Recruitment

14. Dorcas Wasike on Being the Best You: Motherhood, Hard Work & Success, Kenya, Nursing

Dorcas Wasike has been on a history-making roll since entering the University of Louisville in 2016. She has made an impressive progression from 145th at the NCAA D1 XC Championship to 14th in 2018 and posted a runner-up finish in the 10k at the 2019 NCAA D1 Track Championship. On route, she has earned many ACC honors, school records, and school firsts.

With some key mentors, team support, and 6 sisters (all of whom are runners including marathon world record holder Brigid Kosgei!!) she has made the move from Kenya, recently nursed a hamstring injury, and always balances motherhood, work, and school as a nursing major with a psychology minor. For Dorcas, its about showing up, working hard, persevering, and just being who she is while finding trust in herself as a strong competitor worthy of being at the top of the NCAA. Watch out world, this rising red-shirt senior still has a full year of eligibility.
