Ultramarathoners do it for a very long time

Impossible is Nothing

Just thought I'd announce that I am an ultramarathoner now, don't you know.

Completed a 52km out here in South Africa (here until July). Took me 5 1/2 hours - but the finish was in Ladysmith near noon in temperatures of 33 degrees so I'm pretty happy.

In celebration am thinking of a bumper sticker range:

"Ultramarathoners do it:
for a very long time
for longer than usual
with snacks
with a lot of pain"

Any others?!

Well done, I flirted with Ultras,(Two Oceans, Doncaster Doddle, and MDS) then realised I didn't have the patience.

is 52kms classed as an ultra? I thought that was just a training run distance.
You learn something new every day.

Hi Evergreen, my first ultra was the 2 Oceans in Capetown. A great experience.

well done - especially at 33 degrees thats hard going.

Now you have to deal with the fact that despite all the suffering they can be annoyingly addictive...
