Has anyone seen the video of her sprint finish and collapse on the gate? Totally inspirational! You can kind of hear saying I’m alright as a few of them check and get her a chair.
She managed to come on tarmac with a long finish straight that must have been agony wondering if she had enough time.
It reminds me of my 6 minute K sprint through Chamonix to get under 19 hours felt like I was doing a 3:30K
Ive been looking at her back history, i dont really follow ultra, but what an exceptional athlete. I guess to even make the start of the BM you have to be recognised as decent, unless you are number 1 . Watched a doc on tubes of last years event today. Almost makes me want to run.
Better write up to follow but that was one of the hardest things I have done. The hills were brutal and unrelenting
Currently trying the warm up in bed(was cold by the end and always get uncontrollable shivers after a race like that after stopping moving) and eating pizza with a bottle of Chianti (what else)
