There are a couple of photo’s in some of my other posts, I’ll try and get a decent one up;) I run in a skirt so I shouldn’t be too hard to miss!

You need to post pictures of yourself! We may have passed each other in races without even knowing it. Good luck with your 2 Oceans and Comrades training!

Hi Chris, I’m so glad you found my blog!! Last night’s race was great, thanks for saying hi I’m really glad I got to see you again, I felt a little bad that Adri and I had left you on the Peninsula Marathon (which I also think should be kept as the new route). I’m sure I’ll see you soon!!
Take care

Hi Candice. What an interesting site. Enjoyed reading your account of the Peninsula (and knowing now what I did not know then am honoured that you didn’t get straight back onto the iPod!). I have good memories of the Peninsula even though I had to grovel from 28Km to the finish on my own. But it’s great to meet people and chat along thge way – helps the Ks tick by. I told Kevin (Top Events) that the new course is far more interesting and scenic than the traditional (fast) Peninsula and they should seriously think about keeping it going forward. The start issues can be ironed out. Hope you enjoyed the 10K last night, in spite of the congestion. We appear to be victims of our own success here as numbers have escalated from 650 in the first year to 1500 last year and 1700 this year.
I’ll mention this blog to Adri – she’ll also be pleased with your comments. Hope to catch up (and stay) with you in more races to come. Hope your Two Oceans training goes well.
Chris (AAC).

I can’t even tell you the difference… the first marathon I did the last 5km’s were hell (as well as the few days after). The second was also tough although I did feel stronger, but this one I really felt great the entire way and could have gone running on Tuesday again, so there is definite improvement.

Sounds like an awesome race! So how did it compare to the previous marathons for you?

Hi Dan, yes I agree some of them were badly organized…

What that chaotic start and some of the tables been poorly stocked from time to time. Not the best planned race and hope organisers fix up before next year
