I see people coming down the other way to check into the stadium, and I think....just a few metres...Ole! Kumbe there is the corner and dropping to Msa road and back up, my psyche got smashed up like a cheap glass...-hauling ass to the finish line from that point was great torture  All the same, good run.

Hongera to the participants.  Just learnt that a dear friend who was also participating collapsed and was rushed to hospital. So far, scans show a clot in the right side of the brain.  Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Unofficial 2h 47m. Time gets worse every year, but then again, I'm getting older and heavier......

Let me tell you my Bro, the worst mental torture they have done to us in the 42 is you run all the way from Nyayo to Vitafoam, past Panari, you can back to Nyayo, then back to Vitafoam and then back to Nyayo to finish. For mental peace, I would prefer running all the way to Mlolongo and back than that loop. Hujuma... Mateso.

Hizo clots hutoka wapi daktari? How can they be avoided/prevented?

All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Congratulations bwana, 42km is an extraordinary feat.
