By a stroke of luck, i managed to finish #1 in the 12km Women Open category. This race was (in many ways) symbolic.
I started running in 2013 after returning from Africa. My first race was a 10km road race. We used to joke about targeting to have our names positioned on “Page 1 of [ ]”. Yes, it was enough. (laugh – for the record, i could only afford an appearance on Page 2*, positioned 60).
Fast forward to 2016. You can imagine the ecstasy of being placed #1.
*typically (on a .pdf copy championship results), it fits 54 names.
