Tell me you got sick without telling me you got sick...

I've applied for the Sydney Marathon 2025.

Now that it's a major event, you have to apply and hope for the best to secure an entry. Fingers crossed!

I went for a scenic run around the Imperial Gardens in Tokyo—a 5-kilometre loop encircling the grounds. The path follows the palace’s moat, offering views of historic stone walls and traditional bridges. So good!

Marathon done! ✅

What an incredible experience. Running across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and soaking in the amazing views was unforgettable. The support along the course was fantastic, with spectators holding up funny signs like "Don't be shit" that kept me laughing.

I finished in 5h 10m—not the fastest, but my goal was to finish, so I didn’t push too hard.

My plan was to stay in Zone 2 for the first 15km, then stick to Zone 3 as long as possible and I managed to do just that. I hit a couple of cramps in the second half but powered through with cramp shots (disgusting, but they work).

Hyrox done! ✅

Happy that I finished but not quite happy with the time. I was aiming for ~1h 30m, but it was a bit heavy today.

Will do it again next year!
