The businesswoman and ‘influencer’ Estefanía Unzu Ripollpopularly known as Verdelisshas managed to complete the feat of running seven marathons for a week on the seven continents. He valed all his rivals in the six previous races played in Antarctica, South Africa, Australia, Dubai, Spain and Brazil, but in Miami he has suffered more than expected. The Navarra has accused tiredness after a devastating rhythm (in Antarctica she invested 3:38:53, in Cape 3:10:14, in Australia 3:10:30 in Dubai 3:09:46, in Madrid 3: 11:30 and in Latin America 3:12:20), the schedules, atmospheric and climatological changes. His career rhythm was gradually going down to some 6 minutes per kilometermore than a minute slower than it has gone throughout the week and has seen how its rival for the general female classification, Japanese Tomoni Bitoh He took about 20 minutes of advantage, although the Navarra enjoyed a lot of rent and margin before landing in Miami. A ‘bird’ that was about to cost him the challenge. Verdeliss had to stop on some occasions to vomit. The test has taken it to the limit. Remember that this Wednesday, after crossing the goal in Fortaleza, he had to go to the sea to cool off: «It has been very hard, I can not. I retire from this, ”he said
But he climbed into the plane towards USA And this morning his shoes stuck again. As soon as the goal is crossing, Verdeliss dropped on the grass and it was the Japanese that approached to greet her. The Spanish was exhausted. Both melted in a hug while the audience gave to the deed they had just witnessed with applause and cheers. The Spanish finally took the general female classification Because it has been the fastest adding the seven marathons.
«I couldn’t stop vomiting throughout the race. Tenggo the burst body After the lack of control of not sleeping well, of not eating well … it has been to pull the heart, to show that I could overcome myself. For my family and for the followers who have supported me. To show that You have to fight for dreams», Explained at the end of the test, which has ended in 3h35: 07 as second woman and seventh absolute classified in Miami. Verdeliss has improved by little the average brand of 3h25: 57 that showed as a female record the Danish Kristina Schou Madsen From the 2020 edition, which opens the doors of the Guiness book.
Verdeliss’s feat began in the Antarcticaunder extreme weather. She was the first woman to go through the finish line and the fourth of the general, with a time of 3 hours 38 minutes and 53 seconds. And from the cold of the north pole to the African heat of Cape City, in South Africawhere he won the race again even ahead of male participants (3h.10’14 ”). “My only discomfort is that I have carbonized skin … the hurry is not good advisors and I forgot to apply the sunscreen,” he explained after the South African race and while I reached Perth (Australia) Together with the 53 participants who survived the experience. 14 hours of flight, with a technical scale in Mauritania, they only had a time and a half to move from the airport to the vicinity of the Swan River, where the third marathon began, which also dominated ahead of all the participants (3h: 10.30 ”) , running this time at night and with a temperature of 22 degrees.
Also absolutely won the marathon of Dubai (EAU) With the best time until that moment (3: 09.46 ‘), which consolidated her as an undisputed leader of this world challenge. And that that of Mutilva had serious stomach problems, with belly pain, in the middle of the test. He also had physical problems in Madridwhere he accused the ramps and unevenness of the Jarama Circuit. The Madrid car significantly loaded its quadriceps. “I am dead, I can not more,” he said after passing the goal, but 17 hours later he won again in Fortaleza (Brazil), giving a new exhibition. Only the last stop was left, in Miami, that the He ran early Before lifting the arms for the last time, although this time for the merit of finishing the challenge.
Beyond the personal and sports challenge of La Navarra, its deed has a beneficial intention. Verdeliss tries to raise funds for Claudia, a six -year -old girl suffering from the Menke-Hennekam syndromea disease of those considered rare and that, being hereditary, is given by the malformation of the lymphatic system. There are only 80 cases in the world.
Together with Verdels, another 61 participants competed. In total, 46 men and 16 womenfrom 20 countries (25 of the United States, 17 of China and 5 from Great Britain, among others). To turn the world running – in all the senses – it is mandatory to pay $ 49,000 (47,000 euros).
It is an initiative that was born as a personal challenge of the Irish Richard Donovanwho in 2012 got the feat using regular flights. Shortly after I believe the world marathon challenge in competitive format. In the first editions they continued to jump between continents in regular lines, but currently they already use an exclusive hired aircraft for the challenge. That private plane in which all participants travel is the key that the challenge can be completed. «It is not a normal plane. Inside, it seems military. The nose is glass and makes a tremendous noise, to the point of needing helmets with noise cancellation, ”explains Verdeliss.
