I wondered where that went

was in the other conversation as well so I knew exactly what you meant.

I'd like to know what the percentage of DNF's were compared to previous years.
This will tell you how well prepared the athletes were.
You have to do 18 x 5km runs in a row in under 35-40min each so no easy feat if you're going in undercooked.

Thats a good way of breaking it up, i battle to do one 5km under 33 min, i dont want to imagine doing 18 in a row at that pace.

Well he may actually have a point

It clouded over with about 35 or so kilometers to go (and we even got some spots of rain towards the end) but while the sun was out, I would have called it warm without being terribly unpleasant. There was a coolish breeze blowing as well that took the edge off. That being said, I suppose peoples' bodies' react in different ways to heat. What was pleasant for me could have been unbearable for others.

Who knows, just good to look at things from all angles before jumping to conclusions.

What used to get me down there during the time I lived and trained in Gauteng was the humidity added to temperature. It made mild temperature much worse for me especially when running.
Since moving to Cape Town it is better when I go that side unless it is a really hot day as well.

The SO and I have very different preferences for running temps. My ideal he would keel over from the heat

Which is why winter am runs for me are the worst. I just never warm up.

The proper ativaxxer laces occasional factoids with mostly misinformation to keep the ruse more palatable

What if it's not an antivaxxer, rather not one of the radical perpetually triggered folks?

Looks like the elephants were at Drummond and Pinetown respectively.

Drummond is a halfway point. 46km.
One condition of comrades entry is a successful completion of at least one full marathon event under a certain time. So the Drummond victim had run same distance before.

It is therefore likely that it is health related.

A large percentage of marathon deaths has something to do with the heart.

Good preparation is important. What happens if amount of electrolytes is significantly low?

The 2 that died are seasonal runners and belong to a running club, others that collapsed were also seasonal runners and even a previous winner

Not all runners belong to clubs

You asked no question...more of a rhetorical statement knowing the likely fallout it would cause.
You are an antivaxxer, and nothing more than an amateur researcher (with 80GB of supposed NDA information on hand you've tried to convince people of here...doubt!) at the best of times.

You have been hypercritical of doctors and pharmacists, and unfairly so. You have zero idea of the process and education they go through to get to where they do. Yet there you are, sitting on your couch hammering away at them (yet running to one when needed).

Being critical of people who allowed themselves to be forced into taking experimental juice then the same group tried to force it on everyone else, along with politicians, business and social/mass media.
Yeah i think they should be examined critically.
Yet there are a few well known doctors who tried to warn against using experimental vaxx, they got shut out and branded antivaxx, one of them is a pretty prolific writer in fields connected to the whole thing.

Anyhow, he did only ask a question, why so much triggering over a question ?
Unvaxxed people usually dont even care if you ask them their status, weird.

@capd
I checked. Yes, a huge percentage of deaths were due some form of heart malfunction. 3 most happened at NY marathon, where 3 died.

Do vaccines affect of involve the heart in any way

What vaccine before 2020? How many deaths in the past 2 years?
