Lexx Posted May 30, 2018 Share Luckily only a viral infection for me. Got an injection and better asthma meds, and I'm good to go. Hopefully my ashtma inhaler is the same one that Chris Froome is using. Hacc, Andrew Steer, CobusV and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws677 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Solid advice, Swiss, but I definitely won't run at all if I'm carrying any sickness. We've all heard too many horror stories of heart attacks.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 Barry Stuart and Andrew Steer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully my ashtma inhaler is the same one that Chris Froome is using.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 Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted May 30, 2018 Share No ways!!. Then its a race between Charne Bosman and Gerda Steyn. But my money is on Charne. She's been there, and know how exactly what it takes to win. Gerda will be a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaws677 Posted May 31, 2018 Share 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 Lexx and Jackes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
