Comrades Marathon

PowerBar Team Elite,
 
Hope all is well on your end.
 
I just wanted to let you how I did at the Comrades Marathon (89K-56 miles) in Durban, South African on May 30, 2010.
 
I went through 50 Miles in 5:21, which was 30 min PR for me at 50 Miles, which was good but I was hoping to finish the race, 56 miles in around 5:30 (winner was 5:29) so I need to work on some things but all in all it was a great event and I learned ton.
 
I was the first American and also 26th overall out of appx. 22,000 runners so a pretty good showing.
 
It was crazy, I was passing 50 people per a mile after 30K, I have never been in that position before during an ultra, crazy how fast those guys went out.
 
Anyhow, I plan to try and go back the next few years and think I can be in contention to win it with some more experience.
 
Thank you for the support.
 
Cheers,
Mike

Great job Michael. I was with some fellow reps at Freihoffers Womens 5K, the Rebook Rep and myself were discussing your results
