The morning started well as the weather was much cooler than earlier in the week, so we had a feeling that the day would go well! I was blown away by how stunning the countryside is here in Cambodia.

I woke up this morning a bit sore from yesterday, but I looked forward to the day ahead. Day 3 was the first time that we head inland and away from the Mekong.

We always knew that today was always going to be the hardest day, and it absolutely lived up to its name.

The run by the Mekong was spectacular, and once again there was no shortage of school children cheering us on our way!

As much as it was nice to get through Day 1, I was really nervous about today as it’s our longest day – which ended up being 65 KMS instead of the planned 63 KMS.

This morning, we got up early to meet the Manulife team as well as some journalists to answer some questions about the Cambodia Run. It was great to start this year’s adventure and get running after a lot of hard work in organising the run and its logistics.
