    Everything feels small in Tokyo - apartment blocks, windows, balconies, even doors. It's so tiny that in some places, I don't quite fit!

    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).

    Everything went smoothly, from pacing to nutrition, so I'm really happy with it.

    Next year, now that I know what to expect, I'll be ready to push harder! 💪

    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!

    I’ve never read more than 15–20 books in a year. One of the excuses I had was that I’m a very busy person — with 2 children, a full-time job, a local soccer team I play for, plus a million other thing...
