2014 Comrades Marathon Postmortem with Race Director Rowyn James

It’s been a couple of days since the 2014 Comrades Marathon and now that the proverbial dust has settled. If you ran on Sunday your legs are probably more painful today than they were yesterday.It was a pretty disappointing weekend for me. I came down with a sore throat on Saturday and then woke up on Sunday morning as sick as a dog. As difficult a decision as it was to make, I decided that I would not run feeling like that.
