    Great video! It is always nice to see a race from an individual perspective. Do you mind if we upload it to our channel? Full credit will be given, of course.

      It definitely has a huge atmosphere. There are prettier marathons, but this is a winner for atmosphere.

    Such a great video! I trained for 6 months leading up to this race, in my final taper week I got the flu (Wednesday prior to race) killed my spirit not being able to race, but I got better to cheer on those who did race the Sunday. Im back up and running, in good spirits for the Winelands race in November 😎

      Eish, sorry to hear this. Getting sick before a race is always a great stress. I’ve been blessed to have managed to do 11 Comrades and 10 Two Oceans and not get sick. In the weeks prior I am extra vigilant but still we can get sick. You made the right call by not running. Never run with flu. The Winelands marathon is a little more hilly but it is really beautiful. I love it as a marathon - one of my favorites.

    What an awesome video thank you! Congratulations to you and Luke! Last year I swore I was not going to run CT marathon again, and then I was back again this year to finish my 6th! Was lekker to relive the race again with you guys now!

      Well done. I know the feeling. And once you are at 6 you think “I might as well do 7..and 8, and I’m so close to 10…”

    Great video! I was in the 6:28 bus and it’s funny to see all the energetic people on the side of the road, when we passed them they were much less energetic 🤣🤣 more like get done now man loll.

      I think k the supporters do get tired too…but nothing like us runners. Well done on finishing. Being on the road for over 6 hours is a big achievwment. 🎉

      It takes a bit to keep the spirits up over such a long run, but was a great event. A long and steady training is really good. Keep it up.

      Yeah, that is always the issue. Trying to get sleep when you have to wake up early.

      @@africaunexpected I avoided the typical "try sleep early" and went to bed at 11pm. Alarm at 2h30. Just tossed and turned. Doesn't help I was on a blow-up mattress. Lol
