So I did it. Applied for a position last year and got chosen for the run!
Started training in all earnest in October of 2017. All was well.
Then 2018 hit and with it the injuries. Foot. Then other foot. Then three weeks before the race ITB. Eventually ended up running the half marathon with a dodgy ITB that gave out at the 6km mark and had me limping home. But I did it.
A personal victory if ever there was one. I could have stopped anywhere during that race, but I did not. Too stubborn, or too stupid? Don’t know.
All I know is that I did it.
My time? 2:39:38.
What’s next? Would love to do the Ultra…
So here are some pics taken on the day.
