The only reason I 66 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: got a spot in London. 67 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: Is because of COVID. 68 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: Nobody was traveling That marathon probably has now nearly a 69 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: million applications. Wow. Nineteen thousand spots, very hard to qualify. 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: Then twenty twenty three Chicago memorable because I was able 71 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: to do a PB even though I was getting older, 72 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: really well organized marathon. 73 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: And that's then. 74 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: Tokyo twenty twenty five, managed to get a spot there, 75 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: finished the six Majors, and of course then of course 76 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: they've added Sydney, so you know, we've got to keep 77 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: going here. Managed to get a spot in Sydney, which 78 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: meant two marathons in six months. 79 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: Probably why the body. 80 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: Just decided to give up on me and didn't really 81 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: run much in the last few weeks leading up to Sydney. 82 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: Couldn't do the long runs. But what an. 83 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: Incredible feast, What an incredible thing to have done. And 84 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, to travel the world and running these marathons. 85 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: Have you got a favorite? Was one of those marathons 86 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: just stand out favorite? 87 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're all very memorable to me 88 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: for different reasons. I won't forget Sydney because of the volunteers. 89 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: There was a water station where I yelled out, thank 90 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: you volunteers, and this guy said on three two one, 91 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: let's go VICKI and the entire water station cheered for me. 92 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: In Sydney. In terms of crowds, it has to be 93 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: in New York. It is like a block party running 94 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: through those five moles. Really every house is having a 95 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: party and it is awesome, and Sydney is going to 96 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: get there with the crowds. But for the first year 97 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: as a major, that absolutely rocked it. I think everybody 98 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: who ran it couldn't fault. 99 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: Well, there's just so much in it. Yeah, so good, 100 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 3: how wonderful. 101 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 1: And you were telling me off here as well, Charlie 102 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: obviously out of Alice Springs. He's the first indigenous man 103 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: to complete all seven World major marathons as well. You 104 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: were telling me that during one of your marathons you 105 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: actually ran into him on the course, which is pretty 106 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: unbelievable when you think about the number of people competing 107 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: in these marathons. 108 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, there must be you know, forty five 109 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: to fifty thousand people in London in twenty twenty two, 110 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: and I had gone to Alice, didn't really know many 111 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 2: people there and needed to do thirty two kilometers, gone 112 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 2: in touch with Charlie, he ran with me. He's an 113 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: exceptional human. And then I just looked over in London. 114 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: I was struggling a bit, and there is Charlie and 115 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: I just. 116 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: Couldn't believe it. We both just sort of stopped, embraced 117 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: as you can. In the middle of the marathon. 118 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: He finished. I'm pretty sure that's when he got his 119 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: six star. And you know he's now working for the 120 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: Indigenous Marathon Foundation and he is a legend. 121 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, what an absolute legend, as are you? I mean, 122 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: what's next, Vicky? Is that it? Well? 123 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 3: I need a rest? Do you need a rest? You know? 124 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: I think there's these these six star, these medals. 125 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: There'd be about twenty thousand people in the world with 126 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: the six star. Now I think there's about four thousand 127 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: with the seven star. 128 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 3: There's there's less. 129 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: Than one hundred women in Australia, but that'll keep building 130 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: because marathon running is increasing in popularity and it's it's 131 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: a joyful thing to do. 132 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 3: I know that they're adding Cape Town and one lady 133 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: she did an interview in Sydney and she said, all right, you. 134 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 2: World majors are not doing any more. That's it, And 135 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: then the comment underneath said see you in Cape Town. 136 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: So you know, I hope my husband's not listening, but 137 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 3: I capedun see it's a bit like childbirth. 138 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: The marathon. Afterwards you go, I'm never doing that again, 139 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, actually maybe one. 140 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: More do it again? 141 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean it's it's great when you've when 142 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: you've got the support of friends and family and you've 143 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: got you know, I've got a great running group here 144 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 2: in Duhwin Run for Coffee the meet every Saturday. It's 145 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: it's about friendship and running and that's really special. It 146 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: is those are the thoughts too that get you through marathons. 147 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: How are all your how are all your running crew 148 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: feeling as you, you know, as you become the first 149 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: Northern Territory woman to you know, to actually achieve this goal. 150 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: But as you touched on, there's actually not many within Australia. 151 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: No, and that's probably because of the logistics came to 152 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: the marathons. And I know some of the Americans were 153 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: complaining in Sydney and I was like, come on, guys, 154 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: we go all over the world, you've had to come 155 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: to one.
