But a "good race" can mean different things—hitting your target, running without pain, or simply enjoying the moment. The 2026 Comrades Marathon was no different. I faced many difficult moments along the way, enduring bad spells and challenges. Yet, despite the struggles, I had a memorable run filled with both pain and triumph. On race day, I pushed through the hurdles, fueled by determination. It wasn’t just about finishing; it was about proving to myself that I could overcome adversity. These are the moments that make ultra marathons unforgettable—when perseverance meets the will to succeed.
