Thoughts and musings.
A race guide/report for the 2019 Comrades Marathon (the worlds most famous ultramarathon - 87km from Durban to Pietermaritzburg) and an overview of the area - the people, the place, and things to do.
Photos tell stories. The day I found my physical and mental limits and ran through them. #comrades #comrades2019 #comradesmarathon #comradesmarathon2019 #theultimatehumanrace #ultrarunning #ultrarunner #running #instarunners #instarun #runhappy #runnersofinstagram #runner #runchat #runninglife #runningislife #runningphotos #runningpics
The @comradesmarathon wall of honour. Quite a mesmerising place. I genuinely don’t remember running past this fairly obvious wall :P #running #comrades #comrades2019 #comradesmarathon2019 #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #southafrica
@comradesmarathon 2019. What an absolute pleasure - Africa’s hardest marathon followed by another and a bit. 8:30:27. #ultrarunning #comrades2019 #comradesmarathon2019 #running
It’s a bit shit but I think silver at @comradesmarathon might be a step too far. I was always going to push my #running until something humbled me and I think that time may be now. I’m still gonna try though. #comrades #comrades2019 ##comradessilver

Nutritional full disclosure. I drink 1 or 2 coffees daily. The caffeine is probably bad for me but they keep me breathing. #tomrades #nutrition #training #comrades2019 #coffee #caffeine
Guilt free and niceness free. I had to buy something else to pay on card. I got these salted caramels from @rawbakestation. They are just peanut butter in weird chocolate.. #nutrition #comrades2019 #tomrades

Turns out hot yoga is mega taxing. Turns out I sweat a lot. Turns out foam + pools of sweat = slippy. #tomrades #comrades2019 #training #yoga
