This past weekend it was the ultimate human race, the Comrades Marathon run from Durban to Pietermaritzburg this year.
Every year the race is run in reverse to get a up run and a down run. I have been supporting the Comrades marathon since I was a baby because my dad was running it and now that I'm older it is my time to hit the road and do my first ever Comrades Marathon.
Seeing everyone competing every year motivates me to also do it because it's the biggest goal for any runner.
This year's race was a very good one because you time didn't know who was going to win the race because at less than 10 kilometres to go there was a two horse race but Edwin prevail and beat three time champion Bongmusa to win the 86 kilometre race. In the ladies race there could only be one winner Gerda Steyn because she showed at the Two Oceans Marathon that she is the queen of ultra marathons by winning it for the second time in a row and she brought that confidence to the Comrades and that's why she won, with winning she also got the new woman's record and became the first lady to run under sub 6 hours.
