RABUBI Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 So next year is the 90th edition Anyone up for the big one? I turn 40 a few days after so decided to punish myself a bit to see if age is getting to me
Stiggy Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Trav pull the trigger and do IMSA!Or do the double!
kingalton Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Never done it - I am keen to tackle this, will be nice to do the 90th edition, should be special.. then do 10 of them and do the 100th??
travisza Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Haha. Nah I think 2015 could be Comrades. IM 2016.

Thats a commitment though...comrades every year for the next 10!
ADe Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Haha. Nah I think 2015 could be Comrades. IM 2016.I think I am also skipping IMSA next year and doing Comrades. It is something I want to tick of my bucket list. I do not think doing both is an option for me.

ahmedbadat Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 So next year is the 90th edition Anyone up for the big one? I turn 40 a few days after so decided to punish myself a bit to see if age is getting to meI read in the comrades booklet that the average age of the comrades runner is 41 so you still young GO FOR IT, im also thinking of doing it along with IMSA
Grantc Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 going to be #9 for me - going to use IMSA as my qualifier
ADe Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I entered over the weekend. I am giving Ironman a skip this year to hopefully get my first Comrades under the belt. Man that is a long way to run!
Stretch Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 My folks house off in the route on the last hill before the finish...I have watched this race go past their house my entire life...I have threatened to do it every year since I was 18...2015 is an up run past their house...it's the 90th...I turn 40....something is telling me it's time....so I entered the other day!!
Stretch Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Oh..but what really peed me off....entry fee R350...champion chip...R120!!..I know how much those chips are actually and that's like a 800% profit!
RABUBI Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 So they changed the rules a bit You cannot use previous years comrades as qualifier, and now people complain about this Seriously, are people idiots?? You need to be able to finish a marathon and an ultra in the qualifying time anyway or you are f***ed. People are stupid sometimes....
Ispeed_V Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Remember a talk years back from Mr Nick Bester saying that it was more difficult training for Comrades than it was for IM.
