Hill now running 422 km

Vernon's own Shanda Hill has completed a gruelling 1,800 km bike ride and is now embarking on a 422 km run at the Swiss Deca Ultramarathon.

A Deca is equal to 10 Ironman triathlons.

Hill completed the bicycle portion of the race Tuesday.

Hill called the last 48 hours of the cycling “trying. We have had headwinds every single day and above 30' consistently, which tends to wear on me.

“That said, I'm actually looking forward to the 422-km run because a good portion of it is shaded. It really is the little things, isn't it. Lol.”

Hill is only one of two women in the competition and is currently in ninth overall in a field of 15 competitors.

Hill is the only Canadian in the event.
