The winning story |
| After a lifetime of preparation by running about 150 ultras and, more recently, driving the course with my beloved crew and husband, Phil Brown, the race started easily then became a matter of dealing with a succession of physical challenges -- gut issues, blisters, a nasty fall, hunger. Phil was always there with the right strategy, and we overcame each problem. In the last 25 miles, I was running on pure spirit, determined to reach the finish, with Phil still in charge of sustaining my surprisingly durable body. The finish was a transcendent experience, at the top of Australia, that I hope will be shared with many more people. |
