So I listened. Every lap I took the time at the aid station to have a bite to eat and keep on moving. Big rookie mistake, after travelling up from Hobart to Launceston, I was a bit tired and rattled and forgot to tape my nipples causing a bit of a mess at the 50k mark.
My singlet is still under a table somewhere in Heritage Forest. Thank you to the ladies who patched me up!
The day included a marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon and 5k race as well.
It was great to see everybody else out there enjoying themselves and was fantastic with the extra people out on the course.
I kept a fairly steady pace and surprised myself with how strong I felt throughout.
This win was a big surprise but was thankful that it happened.
I think I received the most beautiful trophy ever made!
The support and encouragement by Jonno, Amy, the Ultrain crew and Sole Mates running group on the day was phenomenal and made me remember why I love running so much. The running community in Tassie is great and continues to grow and this event is a showcase for the cause.
