This last week, 5 of my runners took part in The Southern Lakes Ultramarathon. It’s a 7 day, 6 stage multi day race through The Southern Lakes region of Central Otago.
There are no enough words to describe my immense amount of pride, excitement and joy from seeing this finish line photo of them all! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♂️
There were a few teary calls this week, a bit of extra guidance and reassurance. Reminders of the hours and hours of training these athletes put in to get through this event. A lot of excited and tired messages, some beautiful foot photos and ALL the cheering, motivating and encouraging shouts I could possibly find 📣📣📣
Some incredible results too with a first place In Unsupported Male and Second in Unsupported female. 🥇🥈 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️
And we can’t forget about the other side of these races that’s so important. Without them, we couldn’t do these things… the volunteers! I know my one client took an entire week off of work, to get up at stupid o clock, then work until the wee hrs of the day… all on her holiday time! 🙏🙏🙏
Rest and recover all you beautiful runners, athletes, family and friends ( who’s support is so appreciated)… ❤️❤️❤️ I’m sure a proper bed and food that does come out of a bag is going to be appreciated this evening. 😘
