LRC Medal Monday
Huge congratulations to Angela, Nicola (with her pups Shep & Ollie) and David who all raced this glorious weekend.
Angela raced the Cape Town Marathon on Sunday (in 89% humidity 🥵), overcoming full body cramps that started at mile 19. To help her keep moving and cross that finish line, Angela recalled one of her long runs in Hawaii when a similar situation arose: “I remembered how I worked through it then - breathe, stay calm, don’t panic, keep talking positively to yourself, trust your training.” This all paid off as she finished her 63rd marathon in 4:46 (only 34 days after finishing the Boston marathon), noting that is often not the fastest times that are the most memorable or meaningful - "absolutely one of my proudest finishes on this stunning course filled with beautiful people, rolling hills, ocean views, and unforgettable moments along the way.” Way to go Angela 🤗🥰🙌
In the UK Nicola took part in the Whinlatter 10km with her very well trained dogs Shep & Ollie and David took ran the Northallerton 10km as part of a bigger training day ahead of his ultra marathon next month.
Well done everyone - enjoy your recovery
