After the last climb, she slowed down… and so did her heartbeat.
She stopped for a moment. Not to quit, but to breathe. To let the sun dry the sweat and the breeze do its part.
The training had already demanded its share. Now it was time for something that’s also part of cycling: the rest. The pause.
There, between shade and sunlight, with no rush and no pressure, I took these shots. No posing, no forcing, just letting the moment speak for itself.
