Thank you Amit!! This was fantastic!! It was great to run with the bus. I managed to keep up with you till 32K then I fell back a little but reached just after you did. I don't think I could have managed my PB without you leading the bus. Bus was the best thing in SCMM!!! The singing and shouting kept my tempo up. It was superb!!! I hope this excellent tradition is picked up to set pace over multiple times next year :)

@ milind, Rohit, Humayun : thanks for joining. we will have a lot of fun.  i will be very visible in the holding area along with all the other runners.  i will have 5-6 balloons flying above my head which will be visible from a km away so dont worry about finding me. 

@ rahul your 32 time is excellent , you will have a great race,  stay with me till 32-35 km and then i think you can go ahead based on how you feel.

 

@ rahul bhardwaj: dont worry, recover recover recover.  alway remember what bruce fordyce the 9 time champion of comrades says: reach start line : a little fat, a little undertained BUT healthy.  you have already finished training.  nothing we do now make much of a difference.  rest recover and come to the start line.  i ran my best when i could not run for 2 weeks before the florence marathon beacause i pulled a thigh muscle.  i ran my pr.  thats whats in store for you my friend.  dont worry.

Hi Amit,

 

I will also join you on the bus. See you in the holding area.

Comment by Rohit Bansal on January 6, 2011 at 14:02

Hi Amit, will join you on the bus.

 

Targeting to finish in 4:45-5:00. have done maximum of 32K in 3:25 at Marine Drive. But am not sure, if can continue at same speed after that and that is where I think keeping with you guys will really help.

 

Also, during past few weeks the weather has been really good, and hope that it remains so on 16th also. Otherwise the timings will just go for a toss...

@ Amit
thanks
now the bad news is that laid low with a respiratory infection for past several days. will run today, for the first time since 30th. advice/suggestions to recover yet not stress, so i can keep up on 16th?
thanks
