Sahara Marathon: A Journey of endurance
Preparing of the desert
A marathon in the Sahara, is not only brutal torcher but reality. For the past months, I have not only isolated myself to such scorching temperature to build stamina and endurance, but I have also come back with sweaty backs and fevers from such temperatures that now I can’t lift my foot. And tomorrow is the marathon, I need to be ready!
Battling the elements
The day had arrived, and there I was running the path of great sufferance, only to win a medal that I wasn’t even sure I’d win. I started around in despair, my eyes met with nothing but sand, quickly losing any sense of direction. My legs, bombarded with the element of painfulness, jelly like as I trudged continuedly through the unfathomable tapestry, the merciless sun searing my exposed skin. Each step of mine, echoing the deathly survival place, describing how my life was not just Precariously balanced and dehydrated but an inch close to death.
The Unforgettable Journey
The filtering sun, eerily resplendent was an unforgettable experience. The marathon, in such conditions was sublimely transcendent. The experience unable to be worded as I dragged my legs to the slope and down. Questions plummeted on the horizon – will I survive? Each breathe Sang a chorus of distorted trust as I changed the attitude of pure fatigue to bountiful determination! I sprinted fast as I could. I knew I could do this. I knew I was prepared to win!
The Mental challenge
Mental strength doesn’t only play a crucial part in completing the marathon, but building positivity that provides my body with strength. Sooner, I see a small red ribbon in the distance. Was I nearly there? It seemed like if I’d been running for over a decade as I knew I couldn’t doubt myself. I knew I was there! I run even faster, eager to be first. I got this. I just know.
Crossing the finish line
Nothing was unrelentingly enjoyable as this monument. As I crossed the finish line, my emotions were as radiant as the sun. Pure joy and relief took over my body. The feeling of accomplishment after all the gruesome challenges was like being free from prison at last. I’d finished the path of lava hues that melted in the densely packed sand. Each step I took after the finish pulled me to the floor as if I was playing the world’s most terrifying squid Game.

Mark: Welcome back, listeners! Today we have the Sahara Desert Marathon winner with us here, and she will be telling us all about her experience, with a wide range of topics that we will be covering. Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s begin!

Mark: So, Sarah, you must have had a lot of preparation leading up to this big marathon in the Sahara Desert, right?
Sarah: That’s right, Mark! I prepared a lot for my big desert marathon, and it certainly paid off!
Mark: Didn’t it just! Throughout your journey, both before, during, and after your big race, did you happen to meet any challenges along the way?
Sarah: Oh, certainly, Mark. Right before my race, my body just seemed to shut down, and I was seriously considering dropping out of the marathon last minute, right then and there. But then I reminded myself how hard I had trained for this, and that, no matter what, I would finish the race, even if I came last.
Mark: Well, you certainly didn’t come last, did you?!
[both laugh]
Mark: And what about during and after the race, Sarah? Were there any challenges you had to break through then?
Sarah: Aside from it being tremendously hot and humid in the desert during the race, the rest of my journey was pretty much problem free! Although there were people along the way handing us runners cold bottles of water now and again, the heat was still almost unbearable, and at one stage during the race, it was so overpowering that I almost collapsed, right there in the scorching sand! Luckily, I managed to keep on going.
Mark: That is truly incredible, Sarah. Were there any memorable moments for you, at all?
Sarah: Oh, Mark. I think the best part of the entire journey was crossing that finish line, not knowing whether I had come first or last, and feeling that incredible sense of accomplishment wash over once I came to my senses and realised that nobody else had been here before me.
Mark: Wow. That is honestly amazing, and I am more than certain that all our listeners think so too!
[both laugh]
Mark: Well, before we go, Sarah, Is there anything special that you would like to add, maybe to tell our listeners a little bit about your inspiration for your running, and perhaps something personal you want to tell everybody who is listening in to us today!
Sarah: Absolutely, Mark! Well, some of my friends might say I started running before I started walking! That is not entirely true, however I did start the sport when I was very young. I was inspired purely by my joy and other complex emotions I experienced when I first ran, and whenever I feel like not running, I just reminded myself of the powerful feelings I get to experience when I do run.
Mark: That’s great Sarah. Thank you so much for coming in today! Your words have been truly valuable, and I am sure all our listeners would not hesitate in taking my side for that one!
[Both laugh]
Mark: Well, that’s it for today on this channel! We’ll see you next time!
