I don't know... I did Kent 52.4 in 8.27 so I would like sub 10 for Comrades, especially as I'll be more trained

I have read a bit about it and heard that the local support along the course is amazing with people taking food, drinks and even vaseline! for the runners.
Well done Trinity! I believe that most of us will be eagerly awaiting your first post on the 30th of May (or as soon as you can make it to a computer with internet connection). I will

That's a crazy amount of entries for such a long race. Just goes to show how many ultra-nutters there are out there.

The prize money will appeal to many of the African runners and the solid gold medals will be worth a bob or two!!
