GOLDEN GIRL’S BUSY SCHEDULE

AFTER the glory comes the pain. That was the scenario for our golden gal Courtney Hancock after her third win in the Coolangatta Gold. “Afterwards you have to consume as much water as possible for your drug test. Then I had donuts and a massive burger before heading to Gemelli’s for pizza and then to BMD Northcliffe SLSC to celebrate and finally sleep. The next day was spent at P3 Recovery Centre in Burleigh, some physio and swimming before flying to Sydney to support my partner Nick Buchanan playing cricket for Tasmania. I was still very sore and hobbling but the joy of winning eases the pain.”
