Race Recap: The Archie 53km Ultra Marathon

It didn’t feel good, but I was able to run the rest of the way down and almost had energy to spare, just not much pain tolerance left for the day. I was getting a little teary as I realized it was coming to an end and I had finally done it. As people started to come into view and cheer though, the tears once again turned to a smile of relief, of joy, of satisfaction, and of pure gratitude. Getting a massive hug from the inspirational legend that is Andy, the founder of the Oscars100 Charity and father of Oscar and Archie, was an incredibly meaningful and moving end to what was a perfectly tough, beautiful, and exciting start to my Ultra Running endeavours.
