Good going this weekend, i am still resting after Comrades. Although legs feel in good nick i learnt that i started running too soon after Comrades this year, thus have promised myself a months break.
Regarding your next challenge...i know a few lads who are running the Beachy Head Marathon on 28th October, the Snowdonia marathon on the 29th followed by the Dublin marathon on the 30th....Am also thinking long and hard about this and the logistics behind it. Seems a waste to lose the training it has taken to get to this stage.
So the slow 40 miles in March did not adversley affect your performance Gobi, do you fancy a slow Compton 40 next year?

Hi everyone who did Comrades. It was a fantastic event and I was lucky enough to be able to watch it this year as I was with RW SA for the day. ( I was on holiday) I was able to cheer for a Serpie and a Straggler as they had club vests on. I was also a member of these clubs in my past life!
I would highly suggest that you look at getting a group of you to go over and be part of a really fantastic event and also hoilday in a really awesome country. Well done to all the other Brits who were out there and completed the course.

Read the report on the Comrades site.
We should really start the 2007 thread,but I am superstitious and believe it to be bad luck. Any takers?
a little close to the Boddington 50K for me
LOL sporta I will probably start it while on nights in a few days

Gobi can't e-mail you everything comes back even though it worked fine earlier,will check tomorrow.
Now home.
WELL DONE everyone - I have been catching up with all the threads - I had 337 e mails!!I saw Slow duck and Apps both at the Expo, and at the end. SD powered past me at Ashburton - I had been reduced to walking to the finish. I then saw him laughing at the grass at the finish - I felt so helpless SD - but you did look alot better afterwards!Clive - well done - great effort. Where do you live? I live near you, I think - does Teddington mean anything to you? I am going to run next year after all - yes Gobi, you can laugh - you were so right!!I would love to have someone to do some long runs with.Pauline, I am the Stragler that you saw on the Comrades.I am determined to go out on a bronze!This e mail is a tad disjointed - am really tired after my flight, 10 kms on the treadmill at the gym, and a cycle ride with my daughter!
We all finished!
You can start the new 2007 thread now!! (-:
I am laughing already
you might get revenge if I ever post that I am returning for number 5 as I have always said I will stop at 4
live in Ealing...so just down the road from you
am also planning to do Comrades next year...and Two Oceans as well....and I have New york Marathon later this year.....so better start saving for all the air fares!!!!
Gobi will do 10 Comrades or more.
I still can't find the 2007 thread
just go to general and trawl until you find it.
If I do 10 it will take a long time as I am stopping at 4
