It was my 10th Ultra Marathon run in total, the 4th Comrades (and the 3rd Comrades Down Run)…
…and it was the toughest race I ever ran. I mean ever!
I managed to finish in 9 hours 46 minutes, which is 20 minutes slower than my best in 2012 and just 1 minute faster than my very first Comrades.
But you know what? Who cares?
I’m happy that I finished, it’s still a decent time in about the fist 25% of the field and I am grateful that I was able to run and get to the finish without injuries or cramps.
I’ll write a more detailed report asap…
