What a great story Atika. Way to go Boeta Ehsan for taking one for the team in true Itheko Spirit!

Sunday’s race was the perfect way to start a beautiful day. The beautiful
scenery helped take one’s mind off the gruelling hills during the first half of the race but the whole experience was made special thanks to our new coach and mentor, Boeta Ehsan and my running partner, Gadija. Despite my numerous attempts to persuade Boeta Ehsan to go ahead at his normal fast pace, he dedicated this race to Gadija and I and stuck with us from start to finish. At the start, Boeta Ehsan was determined that we perform at our best and with his invaluable advice on the road on breathing and running techniques, both Gadija and I could only benefit and improve.
Boeta Ehsan, I know we most probably tested your patience but were truly honoured to have you run with us. Shukran.
