  1. I'm not one to jump on the jump on the social media bandwagon but the diabtribe coming from the "reporter"makes my blood boil. Especially because of the serious allegations he is making in his article . He has no idea what Caroline is going through at the moment. https://www.iol.co.za/sport/opinion/i-hope-the-comrades-elites-do-playfair-15193708
  2. That would be great even if it's just for quick hallo. Im running the first halve at about 6:00min/km hoping this finish sub 10h I'm hard to miss at 100kg [emoji14] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I'm double dosing on my inhaler at the moment . I really don't feel like someone who is going to run 90km in ten days time
  4. 10 Days are plenty to get over the sickness I'm willing to bet money come June 10 you are still going beat me[emoji23] Good luck and take it easy And remember absolutely NO pain meds close to race or on race day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. These last few runs before Comrades has become a real drag , it’s cold it’s dark and it has been a long road to get here. Really hard to stay motivated for some other reason . It feels like that last few meter before you reach the summit where your body tells you to stop but you have to keep going. Sent from my iPhone using
  8. So because I’m an idiot I pulled my hamstring during my Wednesday run. I’ve been nursing it but it’s still there. I’m going for acupuncture tomorrow. I don’t know how it’s going to work as I literally pass out when I see a needle. Desperate times, desperate measures but I’m sure I’ll be ok. Today also bought me up to my planned 1500km for the year. — I raced a mate to the finish of our 15km training run , why why why do I always act like 10 year old when I know better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  10. I briefly met her on Wednesday. It’s very sad.
  11. Tapering = detraining ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I once ran the Dead Sea ultra marathon. Starts in Amman in Jordan at 1000m above sea level and ends at the Dead Sea - 400m below sea level. Very small race with probably less Than 400 runners in the Ultra. Would love to go back one day and do it again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Obviously we have different interpretations of the phrase “dropping the kids at the pool” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I did a back to back in 2010/2011, at the 2011 Comrades with 15km to go I swore to never ever ever run again in my life. I’m proud to say I kept that promise until now :-) So #3 this year, although the wife did say there will be a divorce if I enter Comrades again next year. I can’t remember being this nervous for the first two, first one went amazingly well second one was disastrous. All All that I can remember from Comrades was the second one. I went out to fast and paid dearly for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  18. Got in a few runs here in Kazakhstan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I have only done 3 cradle runs and every time all the cyclist are very friendly. I do known quite a few of them. I have heard about this very brave mucho cyclist giving runners lip in the Cradle from a female runner friend. Seems like he knows who to pick on. Pity he does not greet me in the same fashion as well.
