There's a medal? **** that I'm doing the 21k. It's the closest I will come to a comrades medal
Now to find a really flat circuit I can run around and around

I'm getting more nervous as the time approaches tbh. It's going to be a freezing weekend and my knees are already bugging me

Just be like Dory and before you know it, it will be over.
Signing up for 21k - this cold my biggest concern.

You'll be fine once you're on the move. Just make sure you're well limbered up before you start so you don't tweak anything.

Very nice. Congrats on the new distance record! I was broken. My knees were shot to pieces. Can't expect to sit around doing jack for 2 months and then go run a half marathon without any issues. Still, I muddled through and am glad it's over.

Pmb was effing cold! Was fun doing a 21 but I'm going to be sticking to 10 in the future.

Well done to everyone running today
We went for a slow trot on the mountains for the 45k version. Decided the elevation makes up for the missing km.

Sounds like it would've been a perfect day to run the Comrades.
Why would you not want to do more 21's in future?

Yeah, amazing to not have to worry about carrying water again and stands following everywhere. We got thoroughly soaked from Maclears back to the dams. Very few people out apart from Constantia Nek
Had a very pleasant first 21 so will be looking forward to more and beyond.

I ran with a friend who is generally faster then me to be a pacer but at the 8km mark he had knee pain by 10km he could only walk and by 12km he couldn't walk anymore.
I had to run home and fetch my car then get him, only once he was safe did I got out and finish my last 4km's.
My goal of 1hour 50 mins for 21.1km turned into 3hour :15mins mess but felt like a real comrades experience
