Shout Out!

Very excited to say that I am now a Marathoner after finishing the Melbourne Marathon! Cramped up at mile 15 as it was much warmer then I’d been used to but I just remembered all the advice Angie and Trevor have given and I let the kraken come to life to beast through it! Paced smart and finished strong all things considered. Its so true that the last 6 miles are a gauntlet. All the energy gels and bananas can’t help you there if you don’t keep mentally strong. Thank you Angie and Trevor for preparing me for that. Overall I had a blast! It was a great time and awesome experience!! -Andrew L.
