That to me was one of the best things I have ever done in my life, yes of course it was inexplicably gruelling and at times hurt like hell but the sheer mental satisfaction of challenging yourself over 87kms, or 10hrs 20mins and coming out victorious cannot be surpassed.

The Comrades is a superb event, more so than any other race I've completed but as I sit here typing this with legs that feel tight, sore and useless to me all I can think about is the next challenge! Weird I know but I cannot wait for it.

The early start at 5.30am from Durban city centre, the sunrise over the Indian Ocean behind us the runners, the intensity of the sun on my face at midday, the sheer enthusiasm of the supporters along the route and the overwhelming joy of the finish line all coupled together have left me feeling more excited and happier than before on this expedition!

In one month the next race the Knysna Marathon takes place and I cannot wait for it, these are good things for the soul, get out there and try them!

Thanks for all of the support,

Ben
