1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Honey, Jeff, thanks es Jay, good morning. Yesterday's weather thankfully

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: turned out a little cooler than the prediction. A perfect

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: day for yesterday's Ultra runners at the Total Sports Two

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Oceans Marathon Ctada stain just keep her star on the rise.

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: A seventh successive win for Canada yesterday, while the relatively

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: little known Arthur Yankees grabbed what was the biggest win

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: of his ultramarathon career. He's just twenty five years old.

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: He's based in Hopetown, about one hundred and twenty kilometers

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: south of Kimberley. That is a name to keep an

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: eye on in the future. And a huge congratulations to

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: all the finishers from yesterday's Ultra and I hope that

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: you are having a good rest today. Today, of course

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the turn of the half marathon. To ensure a smooth

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: and safe start, the runners were sent off in batchers

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: from six fifteen this morning. And also just a word,

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: please bear in mind the Newland's picnic site will remain

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: closed today due to that half marathon. I just also

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: want to say a massive congratulations to Wilderness Search and

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Rescue team member and spokesperson David Nell. And you will

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: have heard David Men many times updating Wassau updates on

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: my outdoor report. David successfully completed the Ultra yesterday, and

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: that was after being forced into a seven year break

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: for recovery and rehabilitation, and that followed a skiing accident

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen which to really changed his life. There

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: was no guarantees according to the doctors, and certainly no

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: promises that running or hiking would ever be a part

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: of his life again. But as I said, David going

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: out yesterday, making his return to the Ultra with a

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: finish and a huge congratulations. He sent me a message

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: about making that come back to the world's most beautiful marathon.

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: Hey, Jeff, I'm still trying to take this all in.

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: First off, just a massive congratulations to every single person

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: who lined up at the start. Getting to the start

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: line is a victory in itself, trust me, I know.

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: And to those who made it to the finish, well done.

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: What an absolutely incredible achievement. The conditions out there were spectacular.

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: Being back on those roads reminded me just how beautiful

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: this route is. But more than the views are moved

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: by the sheer level of support. So huge thank you

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: to the organizers and sponsors for making this day possible.

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: What struck me most about this race, however, was the

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: profound sense of care and camaraderie on the road, from

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: volunteers at aid stations to runners checking in on one

44
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: another during the climbs. It was a powerful reminder why

45
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 2: we do what we do. That spirit of looking out

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: for one another, of being there when the road gets steep,

47
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: is exactly what we mean when we say safe my mete.

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: It's about community, it's about kindness, and it's about ensuring

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: that we all get home safely. It's been a long

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: road back for me personally, and standing here after the

51
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: fifty six i am still standing is a feeling I'll

52
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: never take for granted. To the West, our family and

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: everyone who sent messages of support, thank you for being

54
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: my blueprint. Thank you again to everybody that gave a

Speaker 2: shout out and on to the next one. Thanks again,

56
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,160
