Last Marathon Time: 56KM SKYRUN ULTRA 15HRS, 10MINS (December, 2023)
Interesting Races or Adventures: My whole life I have found running and open water swimming to be wonderful outlets. Skyrun 56 ultra in Nyanga, Zimbabwe. Brighton to Sea 54KM ultra, United Kingdom. A handful of beautiful Marathons in the UK, Italy, Zimbabwe, South Africa. Some cycling too including the Argus, Vic Falls Mountain trail blazers rideĀ – 170km over 3 days. 2 half iron mans in Durban South Africa, and PE South Africa. Recently a 4 day hike in Chimanimani completely self-suppoted including own tents and food. Previously in the year a similar trip but only 3 days opposed to 4.
Why KAEM: For a lot of my life I suffered with Chronic Fatigue. I found healing through breathwork and yoga and now I am in a place where I appreciate being able to run again. More than anything. I want to push myself to my limits. The outdoors is not new to me. But the desert is. I am so inspired by my friend, Raymond Grant, who took part in this race two years ago at the start of a life-changing experience. He is part of my inspiration for signing up this time.
