Comrades Marathon 2025 💛🖤 And second place again 🥈

This is my best result in 7 years.

Great form and condition, I am very happy.
Thanks to the coach for the work 💪
Of course, there were thoughts about fighting for first place, but after 30 km I deliberately slowed down and let the leader go, considering that pace too fast for me.
After 50 km, an unexpected calf cramp occurred and I had to cover 40 kilometers with pain and three stops trying to stretch my leg.
I stopped in such a way that the third woman almost caught up with me.
I don’t think I could have won that day, maybe the gap would have just been smaller.
In the final part of the distance, I focused only on maintaining second position.
Glad I managed it 🙌
I did everything possible yesterday, I believe ✊
Thank you for your words of support ♥️ Thanks to you, I feel like a winner ☺️
