We hear from Alison (& Chris) Taylor-Reed, who have both finished the Comrades Marathon…

We both did it and are now Comrades!  It is a gun-to-gun race and it took us about 8 minutes to cross the line.
 
Chris got a Bronze medal – 10.55.07    link to video
I got a Vic Clapham medal – 11.48.37   link to video

For those who have not heard of it – Comrades dates back to 1921 and is a  hot & hilly mass road race which is run between Pietermaritzburg & Durban (the direction is normally reversed each year) – think a much, much harder version of the London Marathon!
