10th WS100 finish was the hardest par 10th WS100 finish was the hardest - 30-06-2019

Ian Sharman Ultrarunner, le texte de sa publication du 30-06-2019 17:02:18 :
6 days, 22 hours, 48 minutes and 1 second, taking just under 20 hours off the 10-finish cumulative record. The last 10 years at #WS100 have been so special and I have incredible memories, plus got to witness so many amazing performances, including 4 men’s CRs (2 by Jim Walmsley) and the women’s CR (by Ellie Greenwood).

I really expected to run my fastest time this year and go under 15h30m due to the cooler temps but my legs had different plans and I struggled through the last 20 miles with my first WS vomit (AJW was kind of happy to hear this and feels I got the proper experience this time) in 16:54 for 15th. I was devastated to be outside the top 10 in the latter stages but kept telling myself to focus on process, not outcome, and when I was dizzy and felt at my worst I could still rely on a strong power-hike so I didn’t slow down too much.

Thank you so very much to everyone out there and online for the support (especially my crew Amy Sharman, Chris Denucci and Jenny Maier) - it made my 10th race really emotional.
