Thank for sharing Team SK. An excellent controlled and well judge paced run. I really admire your grit, determination and strong mindset knowingly that you went into the race with a back injury.The athletes emotions was on a all time high that i rarely see when they were singing Shosholoza on the starting line, i got goose bumps, and that is by watching your shared footage and not even being on the starting line up. Your live race commentary during the race was good. From your running times at specific distances, how many more km"s you had to run, the cut of points and times, how you were feeling during the race and all this while really being actively "busy on the job" was very good. The results would have been different to you and many other Comrades Athletes, if not for the error of an itchy finger wanna be gunslinger at that point of the race when your second wind kicked in. I must admit that you had a very huge support base on the route, especially the Ed Sheeran look alike that were really doing his part with his vocal encouragement when you were running pass Kearsney College. A big high five to Khalida ( Manager, physio, psychiatrist, nutritionist, driver and most of importantly your wife. without her the above would have not being possible. Thank you also to the Lady who was next to you on the road supporting Abdul and Simon and all the other runners by naming them and also trying hard to pronounce some difficult names that ran past you. if i am not mistakes two cows ( cows outfits) also ran past you. Have a good recovery Team SK.

I was there and they cocked up. They gave all us runners a half price entry however that is not good enough as paid for hotels, flights, training etc they cannot tell the time in Africa.

The Cut Off was a joke, many issues with the 2023 CM cut offs - pathetic!
