Exactly one year ago, I achieved something that still feels surreal; I became the world champion of GFF fitness in an astounding time of 2 minutes and 55 seconds . That moment marked the pinnacle of my fitness journey , and little did I know that it would not only change my life but also make an ambassador for GFF Kenya. It's been an incredible year and I want to share how this achievement has shaped me both as an athlete and as a representative of such an inspiring fitness community
The journey to the championship
Fitness has always been a significant part of my life , but GFF took things to a whole new level. It wasn't just about being fit; it was about pushing my own limits , challenging my body and mind. I had been working towards this for weeks-perfecting my technique, improving my strength , agility and stamina. However, nothing prepared me for the pressure of the competition itself.
When I stood at the starting position, the nerves hit , but they were quickly replaced by a focused calm. The clock started and everything I had worked for came down to these few minutes . At 2 minutes 55 seconds, I crossed the finish line, not just as the winner of the event but also the first ever to complete GFF under 3 minutes.
The moment I became GFF's Kenya Ambassador
Becoming the world champion was a dream come true, but what followed was even more incredible. GFF recognized my performance and they offered me the role of an ambassador - a position I never expected, but was honoured to accept.
Being a GFF ambassador has allowed me to inspire others to take on their fitness journey and push themselves in ways they never thought possible . I have had the privilege of speaking at events, engaging with fellow athletes and connecting with people who share the same passion for fitness. As an ambassador, my role is not just representing GFF, but also about motivating others to set ambitious goals , believe in themselves , and realize that they are capable of achieving greatness.
Looking ahead
One year later, I reflect on how much has changed. The title of former world champion is no longer just a badge of honour ; it's a symbol of everything I have overcome.
As I look to the future, I am excited for the challenges and growth that lie ahead. I will continue to train, compete and represent GFF in all I do. My journey is far from over. Being the first person to break the 3-minute barrier was only the beginning . There are many more records to be broken, more people to inspire, and more heights to reach and I can't wait to see where this path leads next.
To anyone out there dreaming of greatness , remember; it's not just about how fast you finish, it's about the journey, the effort , and the belief in yourself that will carry you across the finish line, no matter how impossible the goal may seem.
Here's to another year of challenges, growth and victory -a shout out to John Groom and long live Global Fast Fit.
