      ⁠I know I will! My family lived in New Germany 1988-1992 and my father ran Comrades in 1990 and 91. He will be watching as I follow his footsteps 34 years later!

    Great video, thanks. Last tip reminded me that I shouldn’t forget chamois cream. I noticed on long races that I started chaffing in an area totally unexpected, between the butt cheeks. I couldn’t understand why this was happening, I broke it down as to why it only happens in races but never in training, turns out it was the water I was pouring over my head and chest that was dripping down something I don’t do in training.

    The blanket is a great recommendation for before the race. However, what do you do with it when you start running?

    • @andremaakal6069
      @andremaakal6069 13 днів тому +3

      @ricardofernandes7606, I donate the blanket. When they open the seeding pens and we move forward, then I throw it to the side over the fence. There will be someone out there who will sleep warmer that night.
