With 19\u00b0C at the start and nearly 30\u00b0C by the finish, the race turned into a full-blown solar endurance test. Some might call it a marathon \u2014 we called it a slow roast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But true to form, every Terrapin crossed the finish line, united, resilient, and slightly melted (from heat and pride).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terrapin Highlights from the course:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lisa, running her first-ever marathon, delivered the group\u2019s top performance \u2014 finishing under 5 hours. Quiet strength, steady pace, and a rocket-fueled debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Andre, a seasoned marathoner, completed his 24th marathon in pain but with heart. He was the last to finish, but the entire team waited for him \u2014 a signature Terrapin move: no one finishes a race alone, not even a 42.2 km scorcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Gilles, our 72-year-old vice-dean and captain, completed his third half-marathon of the season. Not bad for someone who makes endurance look easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Andreanne ran a strong half and shared a beautiful mother-daughter finish with Naomi \u2014 their first race together, and hopefully not the last!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Silke and Sylvain, both delivered solid performances despite the tropical conditions. Sylvain added yet another race to his ever-growing collection (we stopped counting at 50\u2026). Silke was on her second half-marathon, which officially makes her a veteran in addition to leading the medical team to the arrival of some Terrapins in heat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as always\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The traditional team photo captured smiles, medals, and a few salt-streaked cheeks. A lasting memory of a day when the heat couldn\u2019t outshine the Terrapin spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulations to all our runners \u2014 you proved that even turtles can fly\u2026 especially when the sun\u2019s turned up to max!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
