This video shows the sheer grit and
determination of a runner from Kenya who
CRAWLED across the finishing line of the Austin
Marathon.
Exhaustion set in for athlete Hyvon Ngetich at
the 23-mile mark and her body started to shut
down.
But, determined not to give up, the 29-year-old
won support from the crowd as she crawled on
her hands and knees for the final mile to the
end.
She was pursued by race volunteers who walked
alongside a wheelchair, but she refused to sit in
it. Brave: The race director said Ngetich "ran the
bravest race and crawled the bravest crawl" ever
seen
If she had received help, Ms Ngetich would have
been disqualified from the race.
The athlete, who had been leading the pack of
top female runners at 23 miles, managed to take
third place at the 2015 Austin Marathon and Half
Marathon in Texas on Sunday.
Fellow Kenyan Cynthia Jerop won the race in
2:54:22, reported KEYE-TV.
But Austin Marathon race director John Conley
told Ngetich: "You ran the bravest race and
crawled the bravest crawl I have ever seen in my
life.
"You have earned much honor, and I am going to
adjust your prize money, so you get the same
prize money you would have gotten if you were
second." Support: The support of the crowds and
volunteers helped Hyvon Ngetich reach the finish
line
Ms Ngetich admitted her recollection of the race
was hazy.
"For the last two kilometres, I don’t remember.
Finish line… I have no idea," she said.
The 29-year-old said hearing from one of the
volunteers that she was almost at the finish line
helped spur her on.
The Austin marathon is a qualifier for the
prestigious Boston Marathon.

So even UK journalists sef dey write wetin dem no know.


I commend her for her determination and focus.
I condemn her for racing when she knew she wasn't totally fit. She'd have known during training but she still felt she could go ahead with the race. It's selfish to think of yourself alone and not think about the heartache you'll cause others when something happens to you.

Resilence!

Kudos to her
