Keeping Track…

People have been asking how they would be able to follow my progress during the Comrades Marathon on June 15^th. Up until now I’ve had a few ideas, none of which I’ve implemented in my endeavor to forget that I am running uphill for 89km’s in 3 weeks time. Unfortunately (or fortunately) in my quiet time this weekend I realized my “ostrich approach” isn’t going to work anymore and so here is what I’ve come up with:

Option 1: You can sms my race number (43099) to 38337. This gives you 5 updates on my progress throughout the race – it costs R10 so just a heads up on that…

Option 2: I am going to try and school my trusty second (commonly known as DAD) on how to upload short video clips onto my blog, so that every 21km’s or so you will get a personal update from yours truly…

Option 3: You can call my trusty second and find out verbally what is going on although unless you are a close friend or family this wouldn’t apply to you

Option 4: You can sit glued to your TV on Sunday, June 15^th and watch the entire Comrades Marathon from 5:30 in the morning and hope to spot me in the 13 000 or so other runners…

You get to decide which option is the best for you, if you have any ideas of your own let me know, I’m looking at this thing full in the face at the moment and I’m open to suggestions.
