Vernon's Shanda Hill making progress amid 'exhausting' race

Shanda Hill, an ultra athlete from Vernon, has already covered over 57 kilometres of the final running stage in the Brazil Ultra Tri Deca race, following the completion of the swim and cycling segments.
Hill entered the race with limited rest, having had only an hour and a half of sleep before cycling 1,800 km on Wednesday, which was her fifth consecutive day of racing.
During the cycling stage, Hill collapsed near the course’s end due to intense pain and exhaustion, highlighting the extreme physical and mental challenges she faces.
Her partner Jacs Spence described seeing her push beyond limits most people wouldn't endure, observing that she appeared mentally distant and was fighting an intense internal struggle.
Hill’s progress as the only woman competitor and her completion of the recent South Africa Deca race indicate her resilience, but she still faces 365 km of running in the event.
