“Today wasnt my best, but I did my best. At mile 15 I knew I was dying, at mile 17 I knew I was dead. Miles 18-26 were the absolute hardest hour of my life. I was alone, my legs were sporadically seizing, I had 3 missing bottles, it was 90+ degrees. When my legs couldn’t go, I ran with my heart, tears rolling down my eyes, basically walking to the finish. But I had promised myself that I was going to cross that line, if I had to crawl to it. So I DID! 11th place, 2:49, the lone finisher from the continent of Asia.” stated Hiruni after the race.
She further said. ” I’ll be back, stronger, wiser, hungrier. So incredibly thankful to everyone of you who have believed, supported, and cheered me on daily. Today was for YOU. Onwards & upwards 🇱🇰”.
“Marathons are difficult, not because the 26 miles (42km) from start to finish, but because having a good race is a rare, unguarenteed, & remarkable luxury…. If you think the marathon owes you a good day cuz you trained hard ➡ lol dont be silly…. The marathon owes you nothing, and it will take everything from you to guarantee a finish” she explained.
