Where it all started
It all started with a pizza and a beer at the Red Herring when I asked friends of mine, who were running a Chappies (10km) in the next morning if I could join. They laughed at me. Their laughter was my motivation. I didn’t join them the following morning… but I trained. About two months later I found myself around the same table with the same friends who were running in the morning. This time I joined. I was prepared, but the look on their faces tells me they weren’t!

I was at a point where I was fit enough and felt the need to push myself and set a goal for a longer distance.

Secondly I remember watching comrades earlier that year, the stragglers of the 2014 down run coming in, and at that time clearly remember thinking that these people were lunatics. From the comfort of my couch I couldn’t fathom the mindset of those crazies I was watching stumble in overheating and exhausted. To put it into perspective I did run at the time but was at a stage where I was pre- hydrating on energade for days before and taking footbaths to recover after doing a 10k…

Case and point; if you look at the women’s Comrades marathon winner of 2017. She does have what people will call the ideal body for a woman long distance runner, which is slightly above average length with long legs short body and not a lick of fat, but looking at her running style she didn’t look l...
