Comrades Breakfast

Comrades is always a bitter-sweet day for me. On three occasions I’ve trained for the event but I’m yet to make it to the starting line. Attempt 1 saw me pick up a bad case of ITB during the Two Oceans. Attempt 2 was cut short by malaria. And my third and final attempt ended due to a snapped Achilles tendon.

That said, despite it being a day of sulking, I always make sure I’m out their supporting those who’ve worked hard and are living their dreams. Oh, and I generally enjoy the day too.

So a big congratulations to all of my friends who finished the 2013 Comrades in a sweltering heat and gale force winds. You’re all legends!

As for me…maybe next year I guess.
