I did the PnP marathon yesterday. First moan: They had a honesty seeding system for the race. Basically four boards with expected race times. I fell in behind the 4 hour board. 5 minutes before the start the 4h bus driver comes pushing past everyone. I ask him where he is going as all the 4 hour runners should behind the 4h board. He basically told me to **** off and they can catch up. I saw his little flag end up just behind the elites. I took me 5km into the race before I was able to run a straight line, the first 5km was dodging walkers. Honesty seeding in RSA - get real people, from now on Ill join the selfish assholes and line up in the front. Second moan - Vitality Running Club The biggest mistake I made was not joining my local running club but Vitality running club instead in an effort to save a buck or two. Worst club ever. Every race I RSVP for the tent, every time I get to the tent the 21km runners and non-RSVP members have eaten everything. You never get a spot under the tent – just too many members. Yesterday I get there, they have fridge full of food. I ask for a sandwich. No sir those are for Halaal members who RSVP`ed – But I RSVP sorry sir nothing left for you only Halaal members . I used to run for Sunninghill, it was awesome we all knew each other support at races were amazing, really miss the comrade. I can`t wait for next year to join a proper running club again. I wish I didn’t have to running with Vitality colors at Comrades this year.
