@hannahtrenches: A 33 MINUTE PB🫪🫪 WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!!♥️♥️ I have sooo many thoughts about the race and I thought I’ll just summarise it all below: ☀️loved how shaded the course is, without it, don’t think I would’ve PB’d because it was HOT! ☀️ no hills was amazing! ☀️I realise I always hit the wall between 22-29km (something about realising you have to do it all again and not being near 30km makes me so sick) so my motto is to just “HOLD ON!!”! My pace slowed a LOT but I didn’t really walk which is good for me! ☀️ once I get to 32km it’s like the end is near and I suddenly have more energy!! ☀️ learnt I am not a big fan of drinking out of cups so definitely prefer flasks!! ☀️ NEVER take an electrolyte capsule without water (i had one stuck in my throat for an entire km until i got to a water station) ☀️ buddy up!!!! I met @jjjjaide and he literally CARRIED me from 30-35km. It was so nice to have someone next to me and distract me 😃 ☀️ get @runwithrally !! Having voicenotes from all my friends and family at each km spurred me on so much I can’t even explain how nice it was! ☀️ don’t underestimate positive thinking!! I am always so negative “I can’t do it” “it’s too hard”… but telling myself I CAN and I’m strong helped me so much!! I got into more depth in my YT vlog (will be up next Sunday)… but I’m about to fly home and I will be spending all day tomorrow replying to everyone’s lovely messages!! Thank you so so much for all the love & I hope you give yourself that same love back because WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
