My Coast to Coast Journey 2013 by Sharee H

Preview Photos

   In March last year Davey came into my office and suggested we compete in the 2013 Speights Coast to Coast as team Swazi. After several days of consideration and discussions with the family I decided to take the plunge and give it a go. I was up for a new challenge!!
Well.... I really should have taken a little longer making that decision, as soon as I read all about the training and the gear I would need just to do two legs of the race I started to worry. I said to myself, harden up girl you're not the first and you certainly won't be the last person to give it a go.

   I'd been doing quite a lot of running, which included half and full marathons, however these were pretty much on flat courses and not as nearly as challenging as running hills or mountains. I remember the first track run Davey and I did up the Ohau River. Let me tell you, that was a very long and interesting day! Davey had me up and down hills, in and out of the river (which by the way was absolutely freezing in the middle of July, one word MAD) over rocks and by the end of the day I was battered and bruised, but I loved it.
