The Race of All Races is upon us. Not much longer to go now. You can follow me on http://www.comrades.com/ under race number 47714 aka Roberto Riccardi. The office stuck up that poster outside my office. I was pretty impressed (semi-mushy) as they only found out that I was doing the race two days ago.Breaking news on the run:
- Ryan Hall is meant to be running the race. Not sure how true that is. We love Americans coming to try out our little South African race.
- I will be in a running bus comprising of my brother, Alby, and my mates Keith & Steven Buhr. At this stage it looks as though Steven will be given the NO GO by the doctor which is a big pity.
- I am gunning for a 8h58m Bill Rowan marathon. Last year I blew up at 39k's and finished on a crawl of 10h52m. Lots of pain there. I reckon I can hold until 65k's before things get sticky.
- They have added 110 metres to the race. It is now 89.28 kilometres. Not sure why that is, but I certainly didn't train for that!!
Good vibrations,

GOOD LUCK! (you insane person...)
ReplyDeleteGood luck Robby - hope you get the Bill Rowan! Each year when I read about you doing this, I think to myself 'Should I do this?'.
ReplyDeleteThe answer always comes back no.
You the man!
Thanks Houston & Alex! It should certainly be a fun outing. I'll upload some cool pics from Comrades House. Lots of history in them walls!
