“I enjoyed the atmosphere so much last year,” she says in the post. “It gave me wings and it made me realize, on a perfect day the world record of Chrissie Wellington could possibly be in reach. I am fascinated by Chrissie’s record and i will try my best on race day to see how fast I can go.”
Ryf will have to break 8:18:13 for the world full distance record. Last year, she went 8:22:04.
