MY WORDS my viewpoint

It has taken me days to comprehend the enormity of my experience. Not just finishing 50km, but the 10 hours before I crossed the finish line.

Leading up to Umgeni River Run, I was anxious. I became doubtful that I was cut out to run an ultra. When something gives you a sleepless night, then you know it’s important. If I wanted to succeed, my only option was to silence this doubt.

I gave myself a pep talk. I had chosen this, I paid money to do it. So shut I wanted to push the boundaries, challenge myself, see how far I could go.
