“I have been a runner for over 25 years and participating in the Spartathlon has always been a dream. In 2009 I decided to dare to start. This attempt was not successful, as I did not manage to finish. I was not disappointed though. I saw what mistakes I made on the route and the next year I tried again. Unfortunately, I had problems again and did not finish. In 2011 everything went well and after 35 hours I reached the finish line and touched the feet of the statue of Leonidas”
