I always tell myself to stick to the plan, but to be conscious of how I feel. The nerves at the start can make it hard knowing how you really feel, so I just followed the plan religiously for the first 20km. Fortunately, at that point, I was already in a groove and I was able to follow my memorized pacing strategy comfortably. I noticed that the time was slightly slower than I planned through the 40km mark, but felt confident that I would make it up later on. I was running in a group of men, as well as two ladies, but I wasn’t in any form of discomfort.
We ran strongly towards the halfway mark, again, right on plan and this continued until 60km. I saw Duncan, and he shouted: “GO”.
To me, that meant “make a break”, so I decided to increase my pace and break away from the pack. I went into the lead, continued to fuel well and honestly, I had the most enjoyable finish I have ever had at Comrades.
There is not nearly enough space here to explain all the details of the race, but I hope this will give some insights into my pacing strategy.
I’m so thankful for the day I had.
I’m so proud of everyone who gave it their best.
Until next time!👊🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾

So pleased with how the race went this year. I knew already in training that things were looking good, but you can’t know for sure what will happen on race day. I am looking back at my planning prior to the race, so look out for my next post where I will share some stats of the plan vs actual. 🙌🏾
