Marvellous Mimi – a record breaking ultra woman

Posted on 22 February 2010

“Try to fail, but don’t fail to try” it says on Mimi’s website (click here).

And it seems like this is how Mimi lives… As I write Mimi is in Namibia for a 5 day race through the desert. Not the 24h Namibian Ultra Marathon I am off to do in May 2010, but yet another ultra race in the picture perfect Namibia.

Mimi is a female world record holder of John O’Groats to Land’s End run, finishing in 12 days and 15 hours.

Marvellous MimiI met Mimi when we together took part in the Al Andalus Ultra marathon in 2009. Mimi came first female, and I was trailing her by many miles…

Take a look at Mimi’s website for an impressive list of achievements on her website…
