I ran a race overseas for the first time – and with a little help, I smashed yet another personal record!
Dhitri leading Fairy to the finish line at Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon 2013. They both officially finished the race in exactly 2:29:49.
On Sunday, May 19th 2013, I ran my first overseas race in Sydney, Australia. Instead of telling you in writing, I’d rather show you my experience in video! It is about 5:35 minutes long. Enjoy!

Note: The background music of the video is called Deep Freeze by Animistix from their Transmutation album. It’s indigenous-infused trance music at its best!

I first picked up running in 2011 after losing 20% of my old weight through playing dance and fitness video games. My favourite running mantra these days is “MAKE IT COUNT!”
