Hospital staff tackles Comrades Marathon
Three Port Shepstone Regional Hospital employees ran the Comrades Marathon to emphasise the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Dietitian Paula Hudson, family medicine doctor Ziyanda Adonis, and supply chain officer Zoleka Dzelwa were applauded for their efforts. Both Hudson and Adonis received bronze medals while Dzelwa received the Vic Clapham medal. Phumza Morai, the hospital's PRO, said their staff's dedication to their fitness embodies the values many people strive to uphold. Dzelwa said despite a fall after nine kilometres and difficulties with her stomach, she managed to surpass her previous time from 2019, finishing in 11 hours and seven minutes. 'The support from spectators and seeing familiar faces along the route kept me motivated,' she said. Participating for the third time since 2003, Adonis said her strategy was starting steadily and adjusting at Hillcrest. 'I aimed for a bronze medal. Despite knee issues near Kloof, I persevered, finishing with an improved time, learning valuable lessons in nutrition and pacing each year,' she said It was Hudson's second race, and she emphasised the importance of hydration and electrolyte balance. 'I had a fantastic run, focusing on staying hydrated and maintaining sodium levels. It's essential to adapt nutrition to weather conditions and pace,' she said. Morai said the trio's achievements highlight the facility's commitment to health and fitness, encouraging staff and the community to embrace an active lifestyle.
