Sitting on the sideline

As is customary over the Easter weekend, the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon is run. I’ve been wanting to run this race for longer than Comrades, so I was rather disappointed to not be able to run it, but it’s great to see running fever take over Cape Town. Runner’s are everywhere to be seen, with around 19000 runners taking part in both the 56km and half marathon.
I hobbled down to the expo on Friday, just to get a feel of the atmosphere and chat to some fellow runners.  It’s not often that one gets to go to a running expo on crutches, and I rather enjoyed the confused stares I got.

Watching the race on TV has certainly got me longing to run again, but I have to patient. This time next year I’ll celebrating my first ultra.
