Comrades Marathon - Memories for a lifetime in 12 hours

Why am I in South Africa, running the Comrades, an 89K run (or more precisely 89.28KM in 2010) between Pietermaritzburg and Durban. It is considered crazy enough in India to run just a Marathon. Running is still not big here, at least the long distance one.

Comrades marathon 2010: I will be there

Posted on April 16, 2009 at 11:25 5 Comments

My last few weeks and months were spent in learning about ultramarathons, reading stuff over the net, getting some good books to understand what makes a runner go from running marathons to distances beyond that. I deliberated on running the Nov 15th Bangalore ultramarathon, but it really looked difficult to fit in with my other personal commitments.

So, I took the next available option, to run the world's biggest ultramarathon - Comrades Marathon,… Continue

Hey hope all is good and the runs are going strong. I dropped off for a bit as I was moving jobs. I apparently have sciatica, which is causing all the leg pain, but doc isn't sure. I'm off serious running for a bit.

Are you doing Pune?

Good that you ran..hope the calf is better. So running the ultra after all? Yes, I looking forward to Hyd. 10k. Should be fun.

Hey Delhi was awesome! As per my Polar, I finished in 2.01 and i'm looking forward to my chip timing. Honestly, I was disappointed...was hoping for a sub-2 hr finish. Oh well, this is just the beginning!
