(However is should be OK, it is from Graham Block on the Run Zone FB Page ) I did a quick check and at least it is ending at Kingsmead. ultra_marathon-CMSA-COMRADES-2023-2023-05-23_112103.gpx Edited June 10, 2023 by Pieter-za Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Rider Posted June 11, 2023 Share But if you have runners you're tracking, give the Comrades, app a go. Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted June 11, 2023 Share Well today our Mnet connection worked, binge watched comrades from 5:20 until now, with a bit of MotoGP and WC XCO in Lenzerheide thrown in. Now to watch the agony and ecstasy of the last few minutes. Well done all who took part today ChrisF, dasilvarsa, Fred van Vlaanderen and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred van Vlaanderen Posted June 11, 2023 Share Who else found the cut-off weird? My gut feel is that the last cut-off was too early… I’ve never seen so few people in the last 5min. Felt a little anticlimactic. SwissVan, Scary Rider, Vetplant and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjommies3 Posted June 11, 2023 Share I have decided that, as a novice, I will start training for Comrades 2024 from tomorrow. A nice and easy build up towards a qualifier (hopefully a B seeding) in this year and then the serious stuff will start. Aiming for silver but more importantly, finish in a reasonable time - sub 9 - without my ITBs saying hello. IceCreamMan and Lexx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut feel is that the last cut-off was too early… I’ve never seen so few people in the last 5min. Felt a little anticlimactic. I agree. Was a bit weird, i think because the route was almost 4km shorter it prob made a big difference. Well done to everyone who finished and got a pb. Gerda is a machine, she is now dominating the Comrades like the Russian twins did in the past. Cant see anyone challenging her in the future, except maybe Adele. I was disgusted with Tete and Mothibi's attitude when Piet was asking for a little bit of their sportsdrink and 1 sachet of water. If the race was 100m longer Piet would've showed him the middle finger. They are team mates and that's definitely not in the spirit of the Comrades.
