33◦C. It was worst from mid-day to late afternoon so the faster runners were
not so badly affected. Winning time 5:32.
The medical tent must have been very busy.

Comrades was a bit of a disaster this year with the sweltering conditions
(25% DNF!), very similar to what you experienced, but it was still an
exciting event. The times were all a bit slow.
I was actually thinking of Comrades during the last 10km, wondering why the
hell anybody would do such a thing. Because it's there, of course. I
didn't realise it was being run on the same date as ours.
That's quite a high DNF rate... what sort of temperatures did they
experience? I didn't want to have to pull out because I don't know if they
have transport back to base. From most parts of the course it would have
been a very long walk back as you can't shortcut through the airport.
Cheers,
