This consumed me for 10 years. Online abuse is not okay. It has made me doubt myself and my abilities for long enough, it was time I spoke out and let it go! #triathlon #ironmantri #worldtriathlon #ironmanworldchampionship #cozumel

Tigst Assefa ran the third-fastest marathon in history on Sunday, winning the Berlin Marathon in 2:11:04. For the last 2 kilometers, her Achilles tendon was "completely gone." It's been reported as a rupture. "She was effectively running on one leg." Through 40km, she was on world record pace, on pace to run 2:09:45. An unbelievable time. She started feeling pain at 31km and just pushed through. Holding on to the pace. But after 40km, she was visibly limping and slowed significantly She still won in the 3rd fastest time in history. After the race, she was immediately rushed for scans and medical treatment which confirmed a complete achilles tear, surgery, and missing ~6 months of competing. Her manager said, "With a tendon like that, I don't know how she could finish." Absolutely insane toughness. But it begs the question: how do you run 2 km on a ruptured tendon? Is that superhuman? The science is fascinating. And it's something I personally experienced. During World War II, anesthesiologist Henry Beecher studied 215 severely wounded soldiers. About a third said they felt no pain at all, while nearly three-quarters said they didn't want any drugs for the pain. He concluded that "strong emotion can block pain." Neuroscientist Howard Fields proposed an explanation for this phenomenon: the motivation-decision model. Your brain weighs pain against everything else you want at that moment. When something bigger is at stake, it can turn pain down with its own opioids. If you need to make it to the medic to help you and your squad survive...you don't feel as much pain. Your body is prioritizing its signals, and it decides this one (pain) gets in the way of a much more important goal. Think of a pilot in an emergency. Alarms flashing and buzzing everywhere. They all matter. But a good captain tunes out everything except what's needed to steady the plane first. That's our brain. Now picture Assefa, she's in the closing miles of the race. A new world record is in her sights. She's spent years training for this and knows what it brings. She feels the Achilles, a little at first, then more. But part of her tunes it out just enough. The pull of the finish is too strong. She still felt pain. It didn't go away and it got worse as the race went along, but the pain was up against a lot. I've experienced this first hand. In 2014, I raced a half-marathon as my tune up to attempt an Olympic Trials qualifier in the Marathon. With about a mile to go, my Achilles started to scream. I ignored it and closed my last mile in 4:30 to win. I got the victory...but then was out for months because I partially tore my achilles. I still felt pain, but if you asked me during or even after the race I would have told you, "Oh, just bad tendinitis." My brain had edited the signal. So is it toughness? Yes. It still hurt a lot. As I'm sure it did with Assefa. But toughness is more than handling discomfort. It's navigating it: asking whether the risk is worth the reward, without being blinded by the goal. It's why sometimes the tough decision is to quit. In my case, I should have stopped immediately. It was a meaningless tune up. For Assefa, maybe winning Berlin was worth it? It's hard to say. The same brain that let her run on one leg is the one that can blind you. On Everest, researchers found climbers so locked on the summit that they couldn't turn around. They called it an "escalation of commitment and difficulty stopping." That's why real toughness is so hard to figure out. We're always pulled, sometimes to slow down, other times to press on. And both can be the right answer. Real toughness is creating the space to take the right action. It's a decision-making process. If the goal is big enough, your brain will let you push through almost anything. That's the gift and the danger. Toughness is knowing which finish line is worth it.

Dear Wicknell, Thank you for your generous words about my professional work and for your kind acknowledgment of my wife. I appreciate your recognition of the dedication with which I discharged the briefs entrusted to me. My wife and I have carefully considered your announcement and must respectfully decline the vehicle and both cash gifts. For clarity, we last spoke in June 2024, and I have undertaken no professional work for you since then. The historical work to which your tribute refers was performed in my professional capacity and paid for in full. My remuneration was for services actually rendered. Your announcement came as a complete surprise, without prior notice or discussion. Given the distance that has developed between us since our last conversation, the substantial nature of the gifts, and their express connection to past professional services, I must approach this gesture with particular care. Zimbabwe’s Legal Practitioners’ Code of Conduct requires us to preserve our integrity, safeguard our professional independence and maintain public confidence in the profession. The International Bar Association’s principles and the International Commission of Jurists’ writings likewise emphasise that a lawyer’s professional judgment must remain independent and free from conflicting personal interests. Applying those standards to these circumstances, I consider it necessary to decline benefits that could reasonably create a perception of personal financial obligation extending beyond a concluded and fully remunerated professional engagement. My wife and I attach great importance to preserving both our professional standing and public confidence in our independence. The independence reflected in your generous tribute is a responsibility I must continue to uphold. Please receive our decision in the respectful spirit in which it is conveyed. We appreciate the generosity expressed and your acknowledgment of my past work. Our decision is nevertheless firm: we will not accept the vehicle or either of the cash gifts. We wish you well and trust that you will understand and respect our position. Advocate Dr Lewis Uriri
