Why am I putting my body and mind through this ? After only starting to take running seriously in 2021 , I completed my very first half marathon in January 2022 and went on to complete my first marathon in October of that same year , so I believe I have the right qualities to take the SBBU challenge head on . Planning and being prepared is second nature to me having filled the role of back up support for 24-hour MTB events for over 3 years . I also share genes with the 2022 ladies ’ Munga winner .
