Massive shout out and congratulations to every single person who took on the Epona 100 Miler and 100KM Ultra Marathon. What an unbelievable achievement.
The grit, resilience, and determination it takes to even stand on that start line is something most people will never fully understand,let alone cross the finish line. Months and years of early mornings, long runs, tired legs, sacrifices, discipline, and relentless consistency all leading to one huge test of physical and mental strength.
A special congratulations to Olivia Parkin for taking the win in the 100KM. An incredible performance and a huge testament to what dedication, smart training, and consistency can achieve. Balancing ultra training alongside triathlon commitments is no small task, and performances like this are built long before race day through the countless unseen hours of work. - Olivia definitely keeps me on toes when programming because no doubt another race gets popped in đ
Ultra marathons expose everything your preparation, mindset, patience, and ability to keep moving forward when things get hard. Every athlete out there showed exactly what commitment looks like.
Iâm even contemplating signing up next year due to these legends inspiring!
Whether you were racing for a podium, a personal goal, or simply to prove something to yourself, you should all be proud. Recover well, soak it all in, and celebrate what youâve accomplished. Huge respect to every competitor, crew member, volunteer, and supporter who made the event what it was.
Absolutely inspiring from start to finish.
