Race of Firsts…

First time I set out with a goal in mind (to come in under 2 hours – my best so far being 2:04)

First time I ran with someone, for the whole race, since my first race last year

First time I never walked once during the race

First time I’ve run between Kommetjie and Scarborough (most beautiful route ever!)

First time I had someone to sprint against at the end

First time I got a tree for running 21.1km’s

First time I finished in 1 hour and 53 minutes

First time I would have taken a painkiller while running

BIG thanks to Saun for the motivation and encouragement throughout the race, I don’t think I would have done as well without him making sure we were on track time-wise!!
